Some Google Searches Now Blocked In China

bannable writes with this from the Wall Street Journal: "Google Inc. said that its Web search service in mainland China was partially blocked Wednesday, the deadline for the company to extend its Internet operating license in the country. The company said the blockage appeared to affect only search queries generated by mainland China users of the company's Google Suggest function, which automatically recommends search queries based on the first few letters a user types into the search box."

what americans are forgetting

[nimbius]

is that freedom of speech and democracy are virtually exclusive to a few nations. maybe im just approaching this from the wrong side, maybe im wrong, im perfectly willing to concede both but im at least a bit confused...

if laws in another country are different, why dont we just respect them and do business on their terms? and if we cant, then we need to stop being hypocritical and begin questioning and denying trade on more than just the internet with china in reaction to their censorship requirements.
