Proof that Google is a bit evil?
This post was published 3 years 9 months 27 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.The last brick was finally set in place with a giant “G” on the side.
Google, the world’s biggest search engine, will team up with the world’s biggest censor, China, today with a service that it hopes will make it more attractive to the country’s 110 million online users.
After holding out longer than any other major internet company, Google will effectively become another brick in the great firewall of China when it starts filtering out information that it believes the government will not approve of.
Maybe this “firewall” should have beta stuck somewhere on it?
Google is just playing the Chinese government’s game… they could either work with the government and have some market share, or protest against the laws and prohibitions and have absolutely no market share… it’s not their job to change government policy
