What is google Supposed to do about government mandates? You people act as if the US google searches are not censored. There is nothing a corporation can do about a government telling them either operate under censorship, or dont operate. It isnt even in the realm of business (unless you're in the US that is) to govern the people. The chinese CHOSE to be socialist, and CHOSE to be repressed, so why is it such a big deal that the largest search engine will bend its values to operate in a country with such a huge subscriber base?
