Google's Shareholders Vote Against Human Rights
yo_cruyff notes a Computerworld article on Google's recent annual shareholder meeting, which was dominated by argument over the company's human rights policies. Google's shareholders, on advice from their board, have voted down two proposals on Thursday that would have compelled Google to change its policies. "Google [has been] coming under fire for operating a version of its search engine that complies with China's censorship rules. Google argues that it's better for it to have a presence in the country and to offer people some information, rather than for it not to be active in China at all... [S]hareholders and rights groups including Amnesty International... continue to push Google to improve its policies in countries known for human rights abuses and limits on freedom of speech... Sergey Brin, cofounder and president of technology for Google, abstained from voting on either of the proposals. 'I agreed with the spirit of these proposals,' Brin said. But he said he didn't fully support them as they were written, and so did not want to vote for them."
Its evident that majority of its shareholders are. well done, budding fascists !

Google has to listen to it's investors. Also, if you plan on trolling, at least use the preview button. Fucking newfag.
The only people with "human rights" in the west are perps and pervs (crime (perp)etrators & (perv)erts for those who are not as familiar with the idiom).
These are the clowns that perpetually go through taxpayer-funded revolving doors of cushy "justice" system without any desire of the "system" to offer any coherent solutions (other than the sanctimonious claims of fat poser politicians offering "human rights" to its citizens).
While the victims get basically nothing but offers of great "empathy".
From what I can tell, at least the Chinese are being more coherent and consistent in their system. Mind your own business and your tax money at least fund an arguably more respectable system.
I for one think the Chinese system has a lot of useful features.
Those with hidden agendas need to be more imaginative than to start resort to some mindless refrain; "human rights" in the west is pretty much total b*llsh#t.
Circumcision is child abuse.
