Google has gone from being a search engine to being a world power: it has been pitted against governments and, as Clay Shirky notes, has its own foreign policy. In Italy, on February 24, three Google employees were convicted--with suspended jail sentences--of violating Italy's privacy statutes in relation to a video posted on YouTube, owned by the Web giant.
Shirky rejoins us at GRITtv along with Juan Carlos de Martin, founder and co-director of the Nexa Center for Internet & Society at Italy's Polytechnic University. They discuss the case, the implications for Google and YouTube, and how the Web continues to change and shape our understanding of the world.
Our right to freedom of speach, is same as other rights or freedoms,
– So long as we do not (intentionally) infringe on another person(s)
freadoms or rights.
Really it shouldnt be so hard to realize when we’re doing that!
But the “Craigslist” has a system of community “Flagging” for any
bad or unwanted posts. It seems like a good model that could be
revised as to fit also Google?
