150212 - Censorship of Websites - Video

Censorship by Google is Google's removal or omission of information from its services or those of its subsidiary companies, such as YouTube, in order to comply with its company policies, legal demands, or various government censorship laws.[1]

In February 2003, Google stopped showing the advertisements of Oceana, a non-profit organization protesting a major cruise ship operation's sewage treatment practices. Google cited its editorial policy at the time, stating "Google does not accept advertising if the ad or site advocates against other individuals, groups, or organizations."[2] The policy was later changed.[3]

In April 2008, Google refused to run ads for a UK Christian group opposed to abortion, explaining that "At this time, Google policy does not permit the advertisement of websites that contain 'abortion and religion-related content.'"[4]

In April 2014, though Google accepts ads from the pro-choice abortion lobbying group NARAL, they have removed ads for some anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. Google removed the Web search ads after an investigation by NARAL found evidence that the ads violate Google's policy against deceptive advertising. According to NARAL, people using Google to search for "abortion clinics" got ads advertising crisis pregnancy centers that were in fact anti-abortion. Google said in a statement that it had followed normal company procedures in applying its ad policy standards related to ad relevance, clarity, and accuracy in this case.[5][6]

In early 2006, Google removed several news sites from its news search engine due to hate speech stating that, "We do not allow articles and sources expressly promoting hate speech viewpoints in Google News, although referencing hate speech for commentary and analysis is acceptable". The sites removed from Google News remain accessible from Google's main search page as normal.[7][8][9]

In March 2007, allegedly lower resolution satellite imagery on Google Maps showing post-Hurricane Katrina damage in the U.S. state of Louisiana was replaced with higher resolution images from before the storm.[10] Google's official blog of April revealed that the imagery was still available in KML format on Google Earth or Google Maps.[11][12]

In March 2008, Google removed street view and 360 degree images of military bases per the Pentagon's request.[13]

To protect the privacy and anonymity of individuals Google Street View in Google Maps and Google Earth shows photographs containing car license number plates and people's faces by blurring them. Users may request further blurring of images that feature the user, their family, their car or their home. Users can also request the removal of images that feature inappropriate content.[14] In some countries (e.g. Germany) it modifies images of specific buildings.[15] In the United States, Google Street View adjusts or omits certain images deemed of interest to national security by the federal government.[13]

As of May 2013, Google Play forbids AT&T users from downloading Open Garden, a wireless mesh network platform, which it lists as "incompatible" at the request of the carrier.

On 12 December 2012, Google removed the option to turn off the SafeSearch image filter entirely, forcing users to enter more specific search queries to get adult content.[16][17][18]

THE ORIGINAL uncensored image of the Bench billboard circulated on social media.

Was it worth it?

That was one of the many questions raised at our Lifestyle staff meeting regarding the controversy over the now-famous Bench billboards along Edsa Guadalupe, Mandaluyong.

It refers to talk that the lifestyle brand had defaced its own billboard and deliberately kept mum about it for days, as netizens expressed their outrage over the seeming censorship, causing the ad campaign to go viral.

The subject of the Bench Valentine campaign called Love All Kinds of Love, which includes images of two same-sex couples, is in itself controversial, and surely would have generated a lot of talk. But without the added censorship angle, would it have gone viral?

By censoring its own billboard and not addressing the issue quick enough, Benchs intentions have been put under scrutiny. Its disingenuous, netizens say.

If Benchs goal was to make its ad campaign go viral, and for the brand to get a lot of buzz, was it worth earning the ire of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community, the group that it purports to champion, in the process?

Love All Kinds of Love is audacious and ballsy and, yes, wow!

I was among the many who applauded Benchs campaign the first time I saw ita composite of four images featuring movie legend Gloria Romero and her grandson; actress-model Solenn Heussaff and her fianc Nico Bolzico; and two real-life same-sex couples, magazine creative director Vince Uy and events organizer Nio Gaddi, and makeup artist Ana Paredes and interior designer Carla Peaon Suyen Corp. chair and Bench founder Ben Chans Instagram.

The third and now famous photo was then in its uncensored form.

The Bench billboard brouhaha: genuine issue or marketing ploy?

Story highlights John Sutter talks with artist Mishka Henner about his "Dutch Landscapes" series The series focuses on an artful effort by the Dutch government to censor Google Maps

It would be hard not to smile, right?

I mean, what is that alien thing?

An oversized kaleidoscope?

A rip in the Matrix?

Some kind of freakish, town-sized cauliflower?

When Mishka Henner, a 38-year-old artist and photographer, came across these "blurred" images of Dutch landscapes on Google Maps, he was similarly perplexed and amused.

"Well, I laughed," he said of the initial discovery.

The hidden zones are "not only bases, they're also royal palaces and fuel depots and ammunition depots and that sort of thing," Henner told me. The Dutch government "used a pretty spectacular method for hiding these locations, which does everything but hide them, basically."
