NYTimes articles don't usually stay 'free' for long, but it's up right now.
This is an article about Google's policies on censorship, with a particular focus on Youtube videos (although also web searches) and how some disgruntled sand-surfer on the other side of the world can tug at the heartstrings of a politically correct Google censorship overlord in California, resulting in banned content for the entire planet. Google claims their policy is very simple: Hate speech - No! Political speech - Yes!
As we all know, this is the opposite of the truth. Hate speech infuses nearly all forms of American-made media. What they really meant to say was: Hate speech against coloured peoples - No! (but against evil whitey - Yes! because that doesn't qualify as hate speech)
