Lay off Google
I don’t know how many blurbs I’ve read criticizing Google over the China incident, accusing them of breaking the no-evil rule and so forth. This is just silly.
Google is not preventing anyone in China from accessing any part of the internet, they are voluntarily self-censoring the search results that they produce. And they are being completely transparent about it. No one’s rights have been violated.
Certainly I wish Google had chosen to stand up to the Chinese government. Hell, I wish that government hadn’t put them in the position to begin with. But they haven’t “done evil”.
