Here’s¬†a good AP column about the way the major players limit what can be said in order to satisfy what they consider appropriate standards of taste. There is a wonderful example of a Dutch photographer whose documentary photo of a street scene in Romania was taken down from Flickr — twice. The problem? It showed a young adolescent boy smoking, as happens a lot on the streets of Romania. Flickr didn’t want to encourage youth smoking, or perhaps didn’t want to be accused of encouraging youth smoking, or perhaps received actual complaints about the photo and found it easier to censor than to argue.

And government regulations immediately raise the problem that web sites are multinational and governments aren’t.¬†
