Flag this site

Thats what it says on a little button at the top of this screen. Basically what it means is report this site for objectional material. And if google agree then you have to delete it or else. But who decideds what is objectional and what isn't? I find fat birds in mini skirts objectional. Does that mean we should delete them all?

And what about Gordon Brown and Tony Blair? I would have had them deleted years ago if I had known I could just delete anything I found objectional! Now flagging something and reporting it because it is illegal I can agree with to a certain extent. Nobody in their right mind wants to see child porn for instance. But reporting it because you don't agree with it? What happened to free speach?

And more importantly, why are Google encouraging this? Are they being paid to like they were in China?
