Google is in trouble

Not only Google's shares on the stock market have fallen well below expectations.

Censorship issues, accusations of plagiarism, copyright infringement claims and other legal problems have been plaguing Google and its super-ambitious plans of becoming the world's greatest information and education tool for some time.

Now the British daily broadsheet The Independent has just published on its front page a report on all of the above, ending with a news item concerning the newspaper itself. Gavin O'Reilly, president of Independent News and Media, the owner of The Independent newspaper, accused search engines of building their business "on the back of kleptomania" adding that he would not rule out legal action.
