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.

    In the US they were forced to take sites off that link to torrents of fucking music. Now in China they are forced to take away other links that are illegal in the country. Those are the laws, Google is in no position to make a moral judgement on those laws. Quit whining.

    But what will that accomplish?

    Staying true to their motto "Don't be evil. But I guess money is more important than principles.
