Google takes China-buffed halo to Oz

Comendable

I commend Google for taking this stance, once you create a precedent of behaviour then you will find the majority of countries will want their own filters imposed (they just don't have the guts to be so blatent about it).

While I in no way aprove of child abuse I don't think targeting search engines is the right approach - I don't honestly believe that someone types "I want kiddie porn" into Google without the first 10000 results being police honey traps or spyware holes, which is good because they deserve all they get. Perhaps I'm being naive here.

Regarding the acquisition of data, well as I buy and trade data with companies like Google their data pool is big but not great quality compared to the marketing and goverment data for sale out there for 50p - £5 per person - big brother is not only watching you but is making a profit on you :)
