itwbennett writes “A Court in Delhi, India has ordered Google to remove content that ‘is said to mock gods worshipped in India,’ according to an IDG News Service report. Mufti Ajiaz Arshad Qasmi, a private citizen, ‘had filed a civil suit against Google and other Internet companies including Facebook, objecting to certain content on their websites.’ While Google agreed to remove the content, citing a ‘long-standing policy of responding to court orders,’ other Internet companies named in the suit are likely to appeal.”

nonprofiteer writes “This is a crazy story. An FBI agent put spyware on his kid’s school-issued laptop in order to monitor his Internet use. Before returning the laptop to the school, he tried to wipe the program (SpectorSoft’s eBlaster) by having FBI agents scrub the computer and by taking it to a computer repair shop to be re-imaged. It somehow survived and began sending him reports a week later about child porn searches. He winds up busting the school principal for child porn despite never getting a warrant, subpoena, etc. The case was a gift-wrapped present, thanks to spyware. A judge says the principal has no 4th Amendment protection because 1. FBI dad originally installed spyware as a private citizen not an officer and 2. he had no reasonable expectation of privacy on a computer he didn’t own/obtained by fraud.”
