Guess Google are greedy $cum after all
While back I posted a “kudos” to google for apparently challenging China on their internet censorship. Guess I was wearing my rose colored anti-reality glasses that day:
Beijing: Google Agrees to Obey Censorship Law
China renewed Google’s Internet license after it pledged to obey censorship laws and stop automatically switching mainland users to its unfiltered Hong Kong site, an official said Tuesday in Beijing’s first public comment on its decision.
Google Inc. said Chinese regulators warned it might lose its license if it continued automatically rerouting users to Hong Kong, a Chinese territory with Western-style civil liberties. Google complied and said July 9 its license had been renewed. The company closed its China search engine March 22 amid a public clash over Internet censorship and started rerouting users to Hong Kong. It still offers music and other services in China. </em>
Standards? Cha ching. Values? For sale. Backbone? Non-existent.
Fuck you Google.
