State attorney general calls 'time out' on Google feud

Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood (D-MS) is "calling a time out" in his feud with Google regarding the company’s take down policy for ads and search results regarding illegal drugs or pirated content.

AG Hood said he hoped "cooler heads" would prevail, adding that he would reach out to the company to "negotiate a peaceful resolution" to the issues. However, AG Hood chastised the Google, saying, "we expect more from one of the wealthiest corporations in the world." "Now, feeling emboldened with its billions of dollars, media prowess and political power, some of its more excitable people have sued trying to stop the state of Mississippi for daring to ask some questions," AG Hood said.
