After a lengthy battle in a French court over unwanted S&M pictures showing in Google search results, former president of Formula One racing Max Mosley beat Google in a ruling that said the search engine was to "remove and cease, for a period of five years beginning two months after this decision, the appearance of nine images,Reuters reported.

The images in question depict Mosley engaged in an S&M party with multiple prostitutes back in 2008. Rumors surfaced it was Nazi themed, but Mosley fiercely denied that aspect of the event; the costumes worn were prison garb.

Google said the ruling would require a new algorithm built specifically for this case in order to keep up with anyone who is reposting the images.

"Even though we already provide a fast and effective way of removing unlawful material from our search index, the French court has instructed us to build what we believe amounts to a censorship machine," Google counsel Daphne Keller said in a statement.

Prior to the ruling, Google said it had already removed hundreds of pages for Mosley and would be willing to remove more. But this ruling, said Google, has serious consequences for free expression.

TechDirt.com reported Mosley's take on censorship and Google's role:

"The fundamental point is that Google could stop this material appearing, but they don't, or they won't as a matter of principle. My position is that if the search engines -- if somebody were to stop the search engines producing the material, the actual sites don't really matter because without a search engine, nobody will find it, it would be just a few friends of the person who posts it. The really dangerous thing are the search engines."

Google was ordered to pay 1 euro in damages as well as 5,000 euros of Mosley's court costs. Google said it would appeal the ruling.

Celebrities express solidarity with victims of super-typhoon Yolanda via social networking sites

Karaniwan na ang pagpapaabot ng simpatiya ng mga artista sa panahon ng kalamidad sa pamamagitan ng kanilang accounts sa social networking sites, gaya ng Instagram, Twitter, at Facebook.

Sa panibagong sakuna na dumapo sa Pilipinas sanhi ng super-typhoon Yolanda noong November 8, Biyernes, dumagsa ang pakikisimpatya at pagpapaabot ng dasal ng mga kilalang personalidad sa showbiz sa kanilang social networking site accounts.

Ikinuwento ni Annabelle Rama sa kanyang Twitter account (@annabellerama2) na dapat ay may post-birthday celebration siya noong mismong araw ng bagyo, na handog sa kanya ng kanyang mga anak na sina Richard at Ruffa Gutierrez.

Pero nagdesisyon daw ang kanyang pamilya na huwag na lang magsaya, lalo pa't marami sa mga kababayan ni Annabelle sa Cebu ay apektado.

Si Annabelle ay tubong-Cebu.

Ipinaabot naman ni Megastar Sharon Cuneta ang kanyang pagdarasal sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo sa pamamagitan ng Twitter account niyang @sharon_cuneta12.

Samantala, simple lamang pero makahulugan ang post ni Vice Ganda (@vicegandako): "God bless the Philippines."

Richard Gomez concerned about "total disaster" in Ormoc City after Yolanda onslaught

Mga panawagan para sa dasal, suporta, at paalaala para sa pagkakaisa ang ipinaabot ng ilang kilalang personalidad sa social networking sites ngayong panahon ng isa pang kalamidad.

Nanalasa sa bansa, partikular na sa Visayas, ang tinaguriang super-typhoonang Yolanda.

Dumapo sa Pilipinas si Yolanda noong November 8, Biyernes, at pininsala nito nang matindi ang Leyte, Cebu, at Samar, kung saan kumitil ito ng di pa nabibilang na buhay at nanira ng maraming tirahan, puno, at establisimyento.

Unang nakatawag-pansin sa social networking sites ang mga posts ng aktor na si Richard Gomez, na naglarawan ng kalunos-lunos na kalagayan ng Ormoc, ang hometown ng kanyang kabiyak na si Leyte 4th District Representative Lucy Torres-Gomez.

Sa tweet ni Goma ay inilahad niyang tunay na malubha ang tinamong pinsala ng Ormoc, lalo na coastal barangays nito.

Sinabi rin niyang ang municipality ng fourth district ng Leytena kinabibilangan ng Albuera, Merida, Isabel, at Palomponay "total disaster."

Pati raw ang bahay ng mga magulang ni Lucy ay nagtamo ng pinsala.

Ayon sa post ng aktor sa Twitter account niyang @1richardgomez1: "roof of our house & garage are gone & 4 cars hit & destroyed by debris. Roof of the house of lucy's parents r half gone and all glass windows."
