Google caught censoring free speech... again -- where's the indignance from net neutrality supporters?

Fox News reported that Google quietly reinstated an Inner City Press news service that specializes in UN corruption news, that Google had previously censored from its search engine and from Google news.

  • Per Fox News: "The reaction to the de-listing, however temporary, had been furious. The non-profit Government Accountability Project lambasted the company, calling Inner City Press "the most effective and important media organization for U.N. whistleblowers.""

Important Questions:

  • Why are net neutrality and freedom of speech supporters silent about Google's censorship of journalist Matthew Lee's free speech and the willful blocking of access to Internet content like Inner City Press -- by Google, the world's dominant search engine? 
  • If progressives like the Government Accountability Project are incensed about Google's censorship of important anti-corruption journalism, where is the progressive indignance from FreePress? Public Knowledge? Moveon.org? SaveTheInternet, the New America Foundation, or Professor Lessig? Could they be afraid to bite the hand that feeds them?
  • Why are net neutrality supporters quiet about Google not being neutral with its dominant share of the search market, but bleat loudly that Comcast is unfairly managing p2p traffic on its network or that Verizon did not immediately grant NARAL access to its text-messaging short codes?
  • Could there be a double standard by net neutrality supporters, that ionly the main corporate funder of net neutrality, Google, is allowed to block or discriminate against Internet content?
  • Why doesn't Google step forward and publicly acknowledge its mistake, accept responsibility, and be accountable for its actions? Especially since One World Trust ranked Google as the least accountable organization in its recent world accountability survey? 
  • And hasn't Google censored free speech before? Didn't Google deny a US Senator up for reelection the ability to advertise on Google because of pressure from Moveon.org? Wasn't Google silent on that censorship as well?
