Google Targeted By Anti-Censorship Movement

wormnet.org writes "An article has been posted on The Observer reporting that Google has been targeted by the group "Students For A Free Tibet" because of the internet company's relationship with the Chinese government. The article states: "... more than 50,000 letters have been sent to Google bosses in recent days protesting at the company's decision to censor searches on its google.cn website in line with Beijing's wishes. Protesters have also staged public 'break-ups' with Google at demonstrations outside many of its offices around the world.""

So you would also be fine with google working with Nazi Germany, had it the oppertunity?

Working with them to help censor their people is wrong, no matter which way you slice it.

When you are scared to stand up to the governments

Stand up to the Internets.

Seriously - I am puzzled, people are happy spouting shit about google, why the fuck don't they kick their governments in the bollocks.

Students in my day knew what rubber bullets and tear gas felt like, now they just write angsty emails to google - yeah whine enough and google will send in 500 super-google-ultra-fighting-soldiers to help you.

meh, go stand in front of a tank. //family guy lol ///wrong site
