Bill Gates Defends Google's Censorship In China

worb writes "At the World Economic Forum today, Bill Gates defended Google's actions in China and told delegates that the internet 'is contributing to Chinese political engagement' as 'access to the outside world is preventing more censorship'. There was no reason for technology companies not to do business in China, he argued."

So much for all that "charity" work

This demonstrates so clearly that Gates' supposedly charitable work is nothing but a PR exercise. If he is willing to help China, that demonstrates he doesn't really care about other people, so long as he makes a profit or looks good. Fucking disgusting hypocrites. That goes for Google, too. What's with these people who make grand statements about the good they are doing in the world, but then go totally against what they supposedly believe?

Just waiting for the revolution...

China is starting to look more and more like Cuba every day...
