[h3]France: Greenpeace can't show GE crop sites on Google Map
[/h3]A French court has ordered Greenpeace France to take down a web page with a Google Map that shows locations of commercial,
genetically engineered corn fields in France. Greenpeace argues the online maps should not be censored because an EU law requires the French government to make the crop site information public anyway. Greenpeace responded by carving a giant 'X' crop circle into one of the genetically engineered corn fields the courts say can no longer be Google-mapped.[/p]
[/p]"Greenpeace France complied with, but will likely appeal, the censorship order," Brian Fitzgerald of [a href="vny!://www.greenpeace.org/"]Greenpeace[/a] said, "And Greenpeace International is now hosting the map from its servers in Amsterdam."
