Google Gags Gums

Yeah, yeah.

Google.cn has just put a gag on it’s own program. The Chinese government wants to control the info. They want to “filter” it. It’s all over the freaking news/internet/newpaper/dog’s ass. 

Big deal. Yahoo and MSN did it. Didn’t hear as much as a whimper about it. Yet what they did was WORSE!

Yahoo gave up the “dissident” to the Chinese authorities. MSN brought down a blogsite because it was going up against the government.

I think Google.com did the right thing. “WTF??!!!,” you may be saying. First off, I don’t work for Google (though I wish I did). Second, I’d rather censor myself than feel guilty about sending someone to jail or pulling down their blog. How can there be a “SIN” when it don’t show up in your screens?

Google is a corporation ladies and gentlemen. They’re going to find ways to get the dough. If they need to “customize” the program it’s in their (and their shareholders’) prerogative to do so.
