The story with the picture appearing at the top of the list in Google search results for Mrs. Obama query has gained a rather controversial tone lately. As a result Google placed a text ad above the image with title "Offensive search results", however web giant denied to remove the image from search results completely saying that its apologizes someone has an upsetting experience using Google, but the search engine does not remove images simply because of unpopular content or complaints."Google views the integrity of our search results as an extremely important priority" it says.
However, the web giant says it will take down certain images, if required by law to do so. Such cases already took a place in countries like China, where Google conform to moral and cultural principles set by the government of Republic of China.
Is there a need to introduce some kind of regulation for search results? And who should regulate it, search engines or competent authorities?
