I hope this and this [1] finally get Google to stop giving in to the MPAA and "going beyond and above the law" to meet their requests, as if MPAA will ever be satisfied without having a Great Firewall of America and the kind of control the Chinese have over the Internet.

I also hope Google finally understands that any, and I mean ANY (yes, even the child porn filters) sort of "censorship infrastructure", can and will be used as an excuse to force or at least pressure them to censor more - always more. So from now on, Google should be extremely careful about what kind of censorship requests they fulfill.
