Apple spits at Facebook, Google and, oh, the whole internet really

Companies like Yahoo and AOL will no longer be able to discriminate against clicks based on gender, race, religion, age or disability. But in the wake of the recent attacks in Paris, Facebook and Google have gone further, insisting that all users are welcome to ask the company to restrict specific kinds of content.

“We’re upset by terrorist attacks in the United States that led to a lot of human rights violations,” Google’s Tom Wheeler told Parliament last year.

“We are always concerned about the safety of our customers and we won’t be going for an extradition treaty if they want to do that.”

Google’s silence on the matter comes as the British government prepares to embark on a crackdown on a huge number of illegal digital communications services.
