not with the help of the gov, they'll have the power soon to pull entire websites off the net entirely.  Hell google is already doing it basically with that "this website has been blocked to protect you crap", you might be able to click go anyway but how many normal people will actually do that they will be to scared.  anyways back to the gov thing, starting out it might have restrictions on which one's, but eventually it will be w/e one's they want to pull.

And most people hate spammers so its going to be hard getting the word out about your website by mouth or letters anyway.  I mean think about it i still don't know about your website and its in google search

Please tell me how you expect the government to start ripping servers through the interwebz.
For the government to take down a website it's a long bureaucratic endeavor. For websites based in other countries where these laws don't exist it's even longer and more difficult.

I'm not trying to confuse you, but it seems that people mirror off each other and learn from each other.  Which is actually really beneficial to everyone.

just because google wouldn't censor for china, doesn't mean they wouldn't censor for the US.

remember there are sides to this game.  Its not about google censoring for anybody that asks.

...so use another search engine. Are you really stupid? Do you think Google OWNS the internet? Do you think they host and pay for all of the websites you find on their search engine? Certainly you don't really believe Google has the power to censor the internet.
China as a GOVERNMENT is able to an extent to censor their internet by putting safe guards like Websense(this is the one they actually use) on their land lines.

If the US government starts doing such a thing, you're going to blame Google? lol.

Thank jeebus, if google decides to remove my webpage from their search results, it's not like the page isn't there, you just have to tell people how to get to it.

If you really want to keep your page on their engine, Google would be extremely hard pressed to keep your website off their search engine. Just search for random shit and see how many malware/spyware infested spoof sites come up that Google can't stop due to the nature of the system.

Anarchoi is the only person in this thread making any sense. You all fail at facts.

Arden made a pretty good non technical point as well
