A Middle Finger Google + causes wandering in a lively debate on censorship among journalists and experts

concerns were raised that Google + could become "a black hole that nobody wants to go ... sorta like Myspace" -. By none other than the founder of Myspace

Tom Anderson, MySpace co-founder in 2003, issued the warning in a wider debate on censorship on different platforms from Google, the debate began after TechCrunch writer MG Siegler had his profile picture deleted by Google.

"Today, I realized something fun," Siegler complained on his blog. "My Google profile image - the image associated with my Gmail account, my account GChat, my Google +, etc. - Nan had gone wrong.?".

So what was behind this Kafkaesque cleaning?

"Turns out, Google - without telling me - went into my account and delete my profile picture Why Because I give you the middle finger in it.?".

The image in question shows Siegler casually raising his middle finger to the camera as he looks away from the lens. The distrust of the image breathes, Siegler bravely tried to put the + Google Image. Once that is removed, causing Siegler to use his blog to rail against police Google.

My problem is not that I could not have a profile picture I give everyone the finger - and I can do on Twitter and elsewhere - is that nobody bothered to tell me or let me know before you just log into my account and delete the image. What if this was the only place where he had saved the image?

"This also seems to be a slippery slope," said Siegler. "In some cultures, different hand gestures mean different things. What Google will also remove my profile picture if I have my fingers on his chin, for example?"

Siegler was widely read and shared, prompting Tom Anderson - also known as "MySpace Tom", the first real friend (social networks) million MySpace users have had - to send their answer with Google +. Anderson defended the censorship. "While Google has done here + running on the plan said, delete photos offensive," he wrote, adding that Facebook, Twitter and MySpace have similar policies

Anderson suggested that the reason why the image was removed from Google + and other means, no, not that the site "has decided to do things differently, it's just that are ahead of the game and make things better. "

Anyway, I say respectfully that we, users of Google + (and Facebook and Twitter) is not necessary to see that we back off, or if we see you naked, or show more generally considered offensive. When a social network [] allows things that slide, it becomes a black hole that nobody wants to go ... Myspace was sorta.

Tip and Google was right to remove photos of Siegler caused so much chin stroking among media commentators and experts as well wire.

"Who can say what is offensive?" He raised the journalist and longtime observer of Google Jeff Jarvis.

"If each one can, one finds the lowest common denominator of the expression and the highest watermark of regulation and restriction."
