Google Targets Conservative Sites In Latest Crackdown JONATHAN TURLEY
Google has moved against another set of conservative sites. While many have celebrated the action against ZeroHedge and The Federalist, I remain deeply concerned over the free speech implications of such actions. I have written for years about public and private censorship, including recent actions to regulate and control speech on the Internet. Democratic leaders have been calling for censorship on the Internet and in social media for years, a move that will destroy the greatest forum for free speech in the history of the world. Writers have joined in this movement and two such academics recently declared China was right all along about censorship.
I am also concerned. Suddenly just supporting the 1st Amendment makes you a target.
