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."
...then Ballmer threw a chair at China.
My script don't crash! She crashes, you crashed her!
After learning Bill Gates was defending their actions, they've decided working in China with censorship is evil after all, and they won't be doing it. They'll be on Oprah Monday to discuss it.
I was ambivalent about whether Google's actions constituted "doing evil," but, after Gate's support, I'm sure it's evil, now.
For a second there I though Google might be a bad guy, but if Bill says they're still cool then they must still be cool.
"This is considered plagiarism."
... these things are dangerous. Bill say's that Google does good things, ergo it must be evil, but Google is not evil.
... it may turn slashdot into a time-warp-black-hole-troll-flamewar-thingy sucking the entire universe in and ending all things.
Why is that dangerous
The end is near!!!
