Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
A politician from the US Democratic Party has lodged a lawsuit against search engine leader Google, alleging that the company profits from child pornography.
The Long Island based politician, Jeffrey Toback, claims that ads
promoting child porn come up as a result some searches on the Google
search site. He claims that Google "continues to put its economic gains
ahead of the interests and wellbeing of America's children" in the suit.
Google has a service called SafeSearch designed to filter out
pornographic content and the company has defended itself saying it is
proactive in prohibiting and removing it from its products.
Critics of the Toback lawsuit say Google has been unfairly singled out,
pointing to the fact that neither Yahoo nor Microsoft who have similar
search products and significant market shares in the search space were
named.
Critics also point to the fact that Toback has lodged his crusade in an
election year and that legislation has existed for 10 years that would
absolve Google from responsibility from the claim.
