Google's an excellent search tool, but should they be imposing their own form of censorship on the net?
This goes beyond the debate about whether or not websites should show the various beheading videos, but this is from a site that has been showing images that you won't see in the mainstream media:
"Ogrish.com has now been fully censored/banned from the net in South Korea, because we decided to show the truth. We feel as if a double standard is being used: When the Paul Johnson images and Nick Berg video became available, they did not avert their gaze. They watched in the same way as anyone else, without murmur of nationalistic protest. Their righteous outrage now, when it comes to equivalent reportage of one of their own, is discriminatory and hypocritical. Ogrish.com can identify with their collective distress and anger, but does not entitle them to more immunity from harsh reality than the rest of us. As a sidenote, even Google.com, the words biggest and most respected search engine, has prevented the term "Kim Sun-il Beheading video" from bringing up any results for the main url www.ogrish.com (even "Kim Sun-il Beheading video ogrish.com" doesn't generate a result to the main-index)"
Regardless of whether or not you think Ogrish and people who visit there are sick bastards, should it really be left to Google to censor the net?
