It would be impossible to do this - and even if they tried, this would
lead to a greater number of stories about censoring those stories.

The process would be recursive in a way which I think would be familiar
to Mickey Mouse, as the Sorcerer's Apprentice, when he was trying to
deal with that errant broom.

Hmmm . . . Googling:

   google censorship scientology 

leads to 1330 pages, and to:

 
http://directory.google.com/Top/Society/Issues/Intellectual_Property/Copyrights/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act/Google_Erasure_of_Anti-Scientology_Links/


The search page returned by Google has *8* sponsored links regarding
Scientology - and they all seem to be pro-Scientology.  These are
pay-per-click ads . . . . 


I clicked them all.   I never thought I would go to church . . . much
less set even a cursor inside a Scientology church, but today I did it
happily, knowing I was making the bastards finance my favourite search
engine.
