Google defend decisions on gay hate website

Google has confirmed that they removed a homophobic blog from their blogger.com service because it was in breach of their terms and conditions.

The company defended their decision last week not to remove the offending webpage.

The blog, called killbattyman, featured numerous highly offensive images and comments about LGBT people and called for them all to be executed.

"If this website had been advocating the killing of black or Jewish people, I am certain that Google would have taken a much tougher stand and removed it much sooner.

"This is not a free speech issue. Free speech does not include the right to incite the killing of other human beings. "
