Google's data minefield
Mark Rasch, 2006-01-30

The U.S. government's broad subpoena to search engines effectively seeks to mine the data of the Internet. While Google has resisted the subpoena, there may be little they can do to protect our privacy from many prying eyes.

If Google provides cached porn images to minors then Google is breaking the law. Google has an ethical responsibility to use it's corporate conscience to follow the laws.

The Law just convicts. The Law does not teach anyone how to live an ethical life. It would be silly to teach a teenager how to drive a car by handing them the Rules of the Road; i.e. the bare minimum to avoid getting into an accident. We teach teenagers how to drive by encouraging them to drive safely because we care for our brother.

Google should already have in place some protection mechanism to prevent porn from being queried by underaged children. If Google cared more about it's neighbor's, they would police their own actions and work with the Government.

Google can't censor or check age identification for search queries. Should they? Yes.
