censorship on google

[bad_brain]

well, when you think about censorship you think about countries like China in the first place, right? not any more, google is telling me now what I am allowed to see and what not:



translation: due to legal reasons google has erased one search result from this site

I bet that this "legal reasons" don´t apply when searching for childporn for example....

It's odd..I wonder what they ommitted..hell, the download links are still visible. Censorship pisses me off...and the fact that google is censoring..well..it just makes me really disappointed in google.
