 In a statement issued, The New York State Consumer Protection Board [CBP] is warning parents that Google is providing easy access to material containing "videos with sexual themes and off-color material". In particular they are targeting Google Video because in it's present form it does not allow for safe searching options that should restrict content to exclude inappropriate content.

Since Google has become a de facto standard as well as it's globalization and privatization, it now has separate and distinct geographical search engine Points Of Presence (hint: China), Google has become, as far as I can see, a body that can be regulated and governed under each of its global server entities and that nations rules and laws.

Already we know that Google removes much information based on many criteria .

We at Zone-h question some things...

Will this trend continue?

Will Google be regulated right out of our hearts and minds into a service that cannot be relied upon to give realistic searches? Can we trust the results that Google gives to be accurate and undiscriminating?

Google's bid to rule the world just may be the beginning of the end, allowing  others to come in and offer a truly non localized and non regulated search engine.
