Idiots on Canadian Supreme Court demand right of GLOBAL Google censorship!

Google Must Delete Search Results Worldwide, Supreme Court of Canada Rules

http://fortune.com/2017/06/28/canada-supreme-court-google/

        The Supreme Court of Canada ruled against Google on Wednesday
        in a closely-watched intellectual property case over whether
        judges can apply their own country's laws to all of the
        Internet.  In a 7-2 decision, the court agreed a British
        Columbia judge had the power to issue an injunction forcing
        Google to scrub search results about pirated products not just
        in Canada, but everywhere else in the world too.

What a complete batch of power-grabbing idiots on the Canadian Supreme
Court. My God, they demand the right to impose GLOBAL censorship? What
total asses. Beyond stupid. More dangerous than President Chump when
it comes to speech rights. Because the EU wants to do the same thing
with their nightmare "Right To Be Forgotten." And China too. And
Russia. And France. And more. And there are vile, sick politicians
here in the USA who would do this same thing if they could figure out
how to get it past the First Amendment. It's a race to the lowest
common denominator censorship bottom. My view is that Google should
consider cutting off all services to countries that make such demands.
Period. Otherwise, one day Google Search results pages will be nothing
but a big white empty space.
