Italian Judiciary Puts Google In Trouble – Internet Freedom At Stake?
2010-02-25 13:20:00 The Google Blog reports that three Google employees have been convicted of privacy violations on Wednesday by an Italian Court for in allowing a video of an autistic boy being abused to be posted on their video sharing website- YouTube. The court has sentenced the three employees to a six-month suspension sentence.In other words, this would plainly mean that employees of video / content sharing platforms like Google Youtube or Facebook are responsible for the content that users upload – and may be convicted in the future too! This conviction is actually a very serious issue indeed and it targets almost every web service that involves content sharing. Considering the current situation of Google – the conviction would force providers to accomplish almost an impossible task of pre-screening the tens of thousands of hours of video footage that is uploaded daily onto sites like YouTube. And even if such a thing becomes true and pre-screening is forced by the law, then just ...

Judiciary Chair 'Struggling' With Decision to Impeach Bush
2008-03-19 23:12:00 At a gathering of liberal activists in Washington on Tuesday, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) was asked if he would commit to holding the Bush administration accountable once a Democrat is in the White House and illegal acts have been pinned on President Bush. "Yes, you have my word on that," Conyers replied. He then shook the questioner's hand as a sign of his commitment. Conyers, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, told an audience at the liberal Take Back America Conference that he is wrestling with the idea of beginning impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Cheney, but he believes that such an effort might hamper Sen. Barack Obama's chance of winning the presidency. However, Conyers guaranteed his liberal audience that he will pursue legal action against Bush after the November elections. Way to have a backbone there chief. If you believe that Bush has committed a crime while in office, you have a moral obligation to pursue impeachment pro...

Justice Thomas and the Senate Judiciary Committee
2008-03-14 14:28:00 By Alan GableIt is rare that a biographical memoir type book touches me. These reads are always interesting but they never go deep enough to draw out any type of real life change. Clarence Thomas's "My Grandfather's Son" strays from this trend. I've always liked Justice Thomas because he is a conservative and thinks for himself (a trait I find incredibly admirable and woefully rare) and I never thought he got a fair shake with that whole Anita Hill thing. Her accusations were obvious fabrications unsubstantiated by anything that could be considered truthful. She was a puppet. I digress.Thomas brings his reader through his upbringing in rural Georgia, through his times at Yale Law School and finishes with the "hi-tech lynching" known as Senate confirmation. Unlike me, the guy had to fight for everything he's ever had and the disdain shown to him at his confirmation by "white liberal senators" was horrifying. Things like that shouldn't happen in America. Terrible things ...

Corrupt Florida Judiciary Makes International Headlines

It can be strongly criticised provided its critics are “respectful”. Respect, though, was not what Judge Brad Thomas got when he went to discuss a judgment with someone. “Get out of my f***ing office”, he was told, before being ejected. The outburst might have been less startling if the person shouting the abuse wasn’t Judge Charles J. Kahn Jr. of the 1st District Court of Appeal in Florida.Abridged for E.A. =>>
