Does Google Censor Chinese News?
mOoZik writes "A story carried by New Scientist suggests that Google might be playing into the hands of the Chinese government by blocking certain news stories which may be deeded inappropriate. Some users recently reported that Google's Chinese news search returned different results depending when they searched using a computer based outside of China. The claims were substantiated by researchers who connected to computers inside the country. Read on and decide for yourself."
Company Ethics = Make Money
Unless it's some non profit org which is out to save the children or some shit
"we obey local governments and make money" is what every company does, however most say "Since I can't vioulate people in this country I will violate them in a 3rd world poor country and have their 10 year old children make my Product and pay them $.10 per day so I can sell my product in the U.S for $100+"
It's funny how "ethical" people think that they are, they are quick to jump all over google for following the laws in a country so they can operate sucessfully there.
Ask your self: When was the last time you: 1) Drove a Car (mianly SUV)
2) Shopped at Wall-Mart
3) Bought KFC
4) Supported the War in Iraq
5) Missed an opportunity to Bash Bush
6) etc... etc.. etc..
I mean this is the sick ass american thinking that makes the world think we are an arogant buch of bafoons (I'm an american by the way)
Since I am against the war in Iraq and the company I work for operates in American the nation who is killing innocent babies in Iraq then I should quit my job and STOP paying taxed because I'm supporting a govt which KILLES babies ie I HAVE NO ETHICS!!! EITHER do you then...... but since you're an american you don't have to think about that, lets focus on Google's injustice.. and the FREEDOM the Chinese people are missing out on because google's an unethical nation...

Karma to burn... it's sad, my morning was going well...
Listen, metlin, you somehow have managed to lump-sum one nation full of people by two letters, and appropiately made a fool of yourself by raging like a fifteen year old boy, with no real concept of world politics or business...
It's amazing anyone can summize a complicated scenario such as world politics into:
The attitude of the US is sickening, with utter disregard to sovereignity of other nations, and the attitude of the rest of the world in letting the US puppet the UN into submission is sad to see.
mod this kid down, i am tired of seeing this on slashdot... Am I the only one who sees the comment as trollish and immature... ?
Tell you what, you write a "free" (as in speech) search engine and try and offer it to the Chinese, lets see what happens.
Hint: I wont be attending your funeral.
STFU
The U.S. refused to present any evidence, or to accept extradition to a neutral third country for execution of justice.
LOL. Yes, how about a Hague trial?
It always comes back to this no matter how tenuous the connection. The plight of the Palestinian Arabs pales in comparison to the genocide of the Jews that preceded it. The Palestinians would have a state and secure borders if it weren't for the gangster Arafat and the dilusion that Israel can be dissolved. For whatever reason the Arab world prefers to let the sore that is the West Bank fester.
You can't murder 500,000 people without God intervening to extract justice.
Indeed. May God give us strength to destroy radical Islam.
