Just ran across a link of interest wrt Internet free speech issues, memory holes, and suchlike. It's "Searchblog," a weblog by one John Battelle about the politics and business of search engines. Plentiful material on the Google/Yahoo/China controversies of course, and much else besides. For example, his post is the first I've heard about SBC pulling its ads from our own San Francisco Chronicle over critical coverage by pro-consumer columnist David Lazarus.
Among recent links is the Chinese-language Google China Blog, whose text I do not understand apart from the English-language words "I'm Feeling Lucky," but whose photos are begging for a re-captioning contest, especially the one of a young man limboing through a small hole in a literal net with the help of thirteen other people in Google sweatshirts.
