\"Times<\/a>H<\/span>ow do you take something back online? The question comes up in the unlikely form of a withdrawn blog post by Times<\/strong><\/em> religion correspondent and blogger Ruth Gledhill<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[The post was originally written in response to an obituary<\/a> by Church Times<\/em><\/strong> columnist Andrew Brown – background at his blog<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

The withdrawn post was then reproduced at another religious affairs blog, the Voice of Iyov<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A commenter, claiming to be Gledhill, requested it be taken down:<\/p>\n

I appreciate your coverage but would really rather prefer you did not reproduce an entire blog that I wisely had second thoughts about. I suspect there are even copyright issues involved here. A few pertinent quotes from it would surely be sufficient?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And you can see from the link above that the post has been altered by the author so that the only reference to Gledhill’s original is a direct link to the whole thing on Google<\/strong>‘s cache, where – of course – it can be read in its entirety.<\/p>\n

So is it “published”? It’s still out there – albeit harder to find. What if it had been defamatory? Would Google then incur liability as sole remaining publisher? Nothing is clear.<\/p>\n

But for now the withdrawn post remains in online limbo. Or purgatory, if you prefer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
