text: Useless article.  Google is concerned about something.  Kristof does not clearly tell us what it is that Google is concerned about.  Does the proposed law hold Google financially or criminally responsible if a bad web site shows up on their search engine?  Since much of search engine maintenance is done automatically and not routinely checked by a human who could spot the bad site, it would be clear that Google would fight having to having to hire massive numbers of people to screen every one of the many billions of sites catalogued.
