			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The user AccuraCast at the <a href="http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?threadid=8204" target="_Blank">Searchenginewatch.com forums</a> started this thread which is also discussed at Threadwatch.com.</p>
<p>It mainly deals with the question if Search engines like google and yahoo should censor their searches for topics like &#8220;suicide searches&#8221; and deliver some handpicked anti-suicide sites before the other search results.</p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span>Both sides are represented in the thread, the people who think its ok if a search engine would censor such requests mainly argue by pointing out the moral aspect while the nay-sayers fear this might cause a precedence for more severe censorship.</p>
<p>I for one would prefer unfiltered search results but allowing for instance anti-suicidal sites  to deliver ads for free somewhere on the page. when someone uses the keyword suicide.  This should satisfy both sides.</p>
<p>It should be clear that the only authority that decides if something has to be banned should be the law and not a search engine.</p>
