The bolded statement is wrong. A human being can follow any algorithm that a computer can. The speedup comes from the speed at which electronic computers can process data.

Also, the library isn't running ads every time I use the Dewey Decimal System.

You're blaming the volunteer librarian for plagiarism in a book they didn't write or put in the library.

It appears on the screen of the person using their service. Is that not use? They created an “image search” option and created software to search images.
I don’t think every photo should be considered stolen. But the argument that they shouldn’t ever be held accountable for anything because its software does not impress me.

Mr. Comey’s associates also denied the claim made by Mr. Trump, in his letter firing Mr. Comey, that the director told him on three occasions that he wasn’t under investigation. They said Mr. Comey never gave Mr. Trump any such guidance, which would violate longstanding policies on criminal investigations. “That is literally farcical,” said one associate.
The fallout inside the Bureau was palpable Wednesday as agents worried the news could undermine public trust in their agency that has been at the center of political storms for several months.
Several agents said Mr. Comey was a reliable defender of the FBI. “This is crazy,” said a top agent. “We will keep working, obviously, but this could do some real damage. It is good to know the director has your back and is not going to fold under pressure.”

You constantly fail to address the points that Google is just showing us what exists elsewhere. Imagine the following situation: someone posted those images on physical billboards, in public space. A company has a service that allows you to get instant views of any public location, let's say using a super satellite imaging. Should such company be forced to block those billboards from the stream? Even though you could just walk there and see them with your eyes? Because that's what Google is doing in search - it just shows you a web where you could go anyway and see the content yourself.
In short, as I already said, you advocate for censorship or reality. And that is wrong.

No. Pawn shops are regulated where I live and have to take down the information of anyone who sells them anything. They 100% know that they could forfeit any profits gains from stolen goods, which is why they do that.

The acting head of the FBI has said the agency will continue to investigate alleged links between Russia and Donald Trump's campaign – but will not routinely update the White House.
Andrew McCabe, who assumed leadership of the investigative agency following the firing of James Comey, said the ousting of the former director would not impact the ongoing probe. He also said it had sufficient resources to pursue the investigation.
“The work of the men and women of the FBI. continues despite any changes in circumstances,” he said, responding to Florida senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida.

And you will never be able to go after the user who posted the stolen content because Reddit has designed their account system to never have that information. They don’t collect it, so they will never have to produce it. And they will never be held liable for the stolen content.
So you, as an author, are left without recourse or remedy because of the laws in place and the system designed by Reddit.

Right, and this introduction of liability on behalf of the hosts of the content is what has some people worried that it will lead to ultimate self censorship of the content by hosting websites. This would have an overall positive effect on the quality of the content that would be found on the internet, but it would also lead to heavier moderation and a possible reduction in free speech if taken too far by the legislative bodies.

Which is all true and I think there is a healthy middle of the road for sites and not all sites would need to be governed by the same rules and regulations. I don’t think youtube or reddit and facebook should be treated the same and they currently are. And I don’t think any regulation should be written without their input. Mostly I just want the government to accept the internet changed and to update the laws that govern it.

Its not about google, P6 used it as a loose example and it led people to the wrong conclusions. the issue isn't google so much as origanizations who purposely use the freedom from liability to host content that would otherwise be illegal.

That one right there was just an example that really happened and they corrected it. However, there was a girl who’s photo was used by a lot of porn sites who’s photo appeared in a google search. She just happened to have an good selfie that porn sites used and that was her life after that. What do people do when that happens? Is google accountable? If they correct it and it still happens later, when do you become liable? Why the fuck should be google accountable for reflecting the reality? If the photo was used on the sites, what is wrong on telling the fact? This seems to me as a eeally twisted logic. Google ia a tool to see what is on the internet, it is not responsible for what it shows if it is the reality of the internet and I sure as hell don't want it to redact it according to someone's comfort. Because they do not own that photo of that girl and have no rights to it. And she did not give them approval to plaster it all over their website when someone typed in a search for a specific type of porn. What? So you want Google image search to be immediately removed, because it shows images hosted in other sites to which Google doesn't have rights, I am understanding you correctly? I would like Google to be held liable to the same degree I would be held for using a photo of someone without permission. I would like them to be held accountable to the same degree that I would be. Google don't host these things though. Google simply index publicly available information to make it easier to find. It'd be like blaming the Dewey Decimal System for a book that shouldn't have been in the library. They make it easier to find specific books you're looking for in a big and complex library but they don't own the library, nor supply the books. It would be theoretically possible for a human internet adviser to do the same thing Google does. You could call him up and ask him for the URLs of websites that you're interested in. Google just does it faster and better by using algorithms. If I used someone’s photograph without approval and took it down in a reasonable period of time upon request, I would not be held accountable. If googles search does the same and they try to remove it, they are fine. But they are also fine if they don’t do it at all and claim it isn’t their fault because software. Also, the library isn't running ads every time I use the Dewey Decimal System. What is 'use' here? At what point is Google using a picture? It appears on the screen of the person using their service. Is that not use? They created an “image search” option and created software to search images. I don’t think every photo should be considered stolen. But the argument that they shouldn’t ever be held accountable for anything because its software does not impress me.
So if I use this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/link-preview/ohmamcbkcmfalompaelgoepcnbnpiioe?hl=en
does that mean any site that includes a link to a picture is using a picture?
On the other aspect of it, if Google's use of the image is fair use (which is most likely is: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/04/fair-use-prevails-as-supreme-court-rejects-google-books-copyright-case/ ). If Google is 'using' the image in a fair use way then does the source of that image matter for their use?
Like I think you're setting yourself up for a paradox. If google is the one 'using' the image then their use is probably fair use; if they're just passing along the image (instead of 'using' it) then how can you blame them for just passing it through?
It seems like the legal spot here would be that associating someone's image to these sites is the problem, in which case it seems like defamation would apply and that is something Google has already been found responsible for (maybe not in the US, idk): https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/nov/24/brisbane-man-sues-google-for-750000-over-defamatory-search-results .
But again the problem here isn't the law, it's the ability of an individual to pursue their legal rights. Then sprinkled on top is that any court proceedings here would just raise awareness of the compromising content. I just feel like you're barking up the wrong tree.

Well, I didn't expect him to be this ignorant of technology, but how hard is it to know what they key selling points of a new carrier class are. FFS you build a new class of them like every 50 years. Electromagnetic launch system, more automation, more electrical power. Steam isn't inherently bad either, it's just not as flexible.
Trump has a problem where he likes to talk about any subject, and have an opinion on it regardless of how much knows. Which in this case, being boastfully wrong might as well be negative knowledge.
