I have a real dub question:
If a China citizen has access to the Google filter results services and does not use it to filter unacceptable stuff and thus is punishable under China's censor laws does that not now satisfy the China Party elite as far as following China censor laws?
In Google's view they could tell the Chinese government that they put the best person in charge of filtering results the Chinese user..
- michael_dorfman 16y agoYou do understand what "censorship" means, right? Hint: it's the direct opposite of "letting the user filter the results".
- mousa 16y agoEven if it were the case, you can't argue around China's policies with legalese. They have much more free reign to do what they want than other governments.
