Google Asks US For WTO Block On China Censorship
An anonymous reader writes "Google is asking the US government to petition the World Trade Organization to recognize China's censorship as an unfair barrier to trade. The US Trade Representative is reviewing their petition to see if they can prove that China's rules discriminate against foreign competition. At least it's something worthwhile for the US Trade Reps to do, rather than secretly negotiating ACTA."
Are you saying they were unhappy when they did it or that they didn't do it? Because the former may be possible (if meaningless), but the latter is undeniable.

As I said, a meaningless sentiment if you still do it. I don't really care if the guy who robs me feels guilty about doing it or not. I just don't want him to rob me. Google has stopped robbing (for now). Again, not really so important that they're doing the right thing now for the wrong reasons. But they're hardly heroes for doing either the wrong thing and feeling guilty about it, or doing the right thing only when their profits are threatened. They're hardly taking a risk either way.
