RE: An Actual Knock at the Door?
I wouldn't find it disturbing for Google, Omninerd or any well known entity to filter out extremist contest from any side of the spectrum in certain cases. I wouldn't want my children to read the news and end up finding articles such as "How Has Islam Enriched Your Life?" just as much as I wouldn't want them to find anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-Zoroastrian/Parsi or anything that targets a whole group of people based on the actions of the few or just because they have an illogical dislike of those people. At the same time I wouldn't want them to come across extremist points of view on abortion, communism, hate-the-hater retaliations or any stereotypical Leftish position.
If Google is still providing access to "objectionable" content through their search engine then they are not trying to stop freedom of speech. However, filtering content in a specific forum is not objectionable. Personally, I find it the responsible thing to do.
