For a company in Google's position the line between policy and politics is a fine one. Their business depends on being the middleman between users and content. Censorship isn't an abstract ideal or a cultural artefact in that situation - it's a key factor in every decision they make, in China and everywhere else.
- fnid2 17y agoI wish more ideas in the U.S. were censored. Like the idea that it is okay for bankers to make millions for creating zero value while putting people on the street. Or that it is okay for the government to invade a sovereign entity and take their oil. Or that it is okay to fly people to other countries on corporate jets so you can torture them.
