Google is having it's cake and eating it too

A recent court ruling is giving Google the ability to have their cake and eat it too. In terms of Net Neutrality, Google likes the concept of the open Internet and not allowing ISPs to limit what is transferred over Internet "pipes". However in February, a federal judge decided that Google does not have to post anything they do not feel is appropriate.

Pointing this out is somewhat like pointing out discrepancies for "state's rights" federal court judges who make the occasional vote to override the ability of a state to govern as they see fit. However, Google likes to paint itself as the "do no evil" defender of the little guy on the Internet and I do not necessarily see how their position on advertising matches with their Net Neutrality position.
