The Irish Red Cross is taking Google - one of its biggest donors - to court today in an attempt to silence an anonymous critic who has posted comments on the internet which have criticised the organisation.

The blogger writes: 'As all our readers will know, the Irish Red Cross has decided to wantonly squander money in attempting to sue Google and force it to close our original blog site. The leadership of the Irish Red Cross has made a serious tactical and financial mistake, one that will ultimately be very damaging to the organisation.'

Seems they haven't heard of Streisand. Trying to gag someone on the Internet will immediately turn into a huge attention growth.
