Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt and director of Google Ideas Jared Cohen have warned London School of Economics students against censorship on the internet and the dangers that 'digital ethnic cleansing' pose.

Sky News quoted Schmidt, as saying that people will omit data if they want to restrict communication and information.

He, however, agreed that any piece of information cannot be completely concealed for a long time.
