Google excluding controversial sites
The search engine quietly deletes more than 100 controversial sites from some search result listings, including sites that are anti-Semitic, pro-Nazi, or related to white supremacy. The Harvard report, prepared by law student Ben Edelman and assistant professor Jonathan Zittrain and scheduled to be released Thursday, is the result of automated testing of Google's massive 2.5 billion-page index and comparing the results returned by different foreign-language versions. The duo found 113 excluded sites, most with racial overtones. (News.com)

Child Safety online
America Online launches kids' safety campaign
America Online is launching a new Internet-safety campaign for kids built around an automated instant-messaging "buddy" that dispenses advice in real time. Kids can add "AOLSafetyBot" to their buddy lists of friends on AOL Instant Messenger. It's programmed to answer, within seconds, such questions as whether kids should agree to physical meetings with online acquaintances or reveal such personal information as their address and age. The SafetyBot campaign, being launched Wednesday, also includes a Web site at AOL's SafetyClicks.com, where kids can play a trivia game and watch a video featuring characters from the Cartoon Network, a unit of AOL Time Warner.
