Relevance to Class:
The Government steps in once again to boss around Google. They are ordering them to de-index sites from their search engine which could mean that Information that needs to be found will be more harder to find than before. For the Users they would get "legit" information by the Government Standards.
Key Quote:
"I'm not sure how this court can direct a registry to change a domain name's registrar of record or Google to de-list a site, but the court does so anyway. This is probably the most problematic aspect of the court's orders."
