Google's Action Makes A Mockery Of Its Values

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

Jason Jardine linked us to a well written piece discussing how Google has thus far promised to Do No Evil, but their recent decisions regarding censorship in china make a mockery of those values. We've been following this story all along, but I thought this article makes good food for thought.

    Clearly, Google is the next Microsoft.

    Google - their "halo effect" has blinded everyone to everything else they do
    AOL - they own content, and the distribution platform (their network)
    Sony - same as above, but their distribution platform is hardware not a network

    I don't fear Microsoft. We know they're evil.

    Perhaps Google is simply trying to become evil like Slashdot has been.
