OR
Freedom of information advocates like Index on Censorship who condemned the decision for "violating the fundamental principles of freedom of expression." saying, "It allows individuals to complain to search engines about information they do not like with no legal oversight. This is akin to marching into a library and forcing it to [destroy] books."
