Google Admits Compromising Principles in China

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sorry-about-that dept.

muellerr1 writes "Google co-founder Sergey Brin admitted that it had adopted 'a set of rules that we weren't comfortable with' in their Chinese activities. Though it doesn't yet sound like they're admitting to actually doing evil, it does appear that they are thinking about pulling out of China rather than compromise their 'do no evil' motto."

    This isn't about China, it's about Google striking a pious pose with their "do no evil" doctrine.

    They were censoring search results and denying it. Hypocrisy pure and simple.
