Good point:
Google may censor, but Yahoo will censor and report!
Still, if Google didn't tout their own "do no evil" motto so flagrantly, they wouldn't be feeling this backlash now. I mean, when else have they been presented with such an opportunity to "do no evil" on such a huge scale like this? And to totally belly up at this first major obstacle?
I have to say, had Google put their foot down and said "No" to the Chinese Government, I think a lot of people would've rallied behind them and it would've cemented them as a "do no evil" entity in the US... instead they are severely hurting their credibility.
