Google ceases censorship, threatens China pullout (1 Viewer)

[theism]

Who cares if China blocks google, anyone with two brain cells can simply use a proxy or vpn to bypass the government firewall. People in china do this with youtube all the time.

err..

see its not like at school where if we use a proxy and we're caught, we might get a warning.

in china they have the secret police who will bash you and put you into jail for accessing sites (not youtube.. but say, anti DRC sites)

Good for Google, living up to their slogan. A pretty obvious example to try out, search for 'tiananmen square massacre' with/without quotes on Baidu.com and you get like 5 links, no info about it whatsoever. Same with google.com.cn. More results this time but no wiki or any information.

 

[Lukybear]

Numerous Chinese serach engines will fill in the market share. I dont see people rioting because they can't google any more.

Its still a forward leap for liberty.

baidu.com wins

18th anniversary of Tianamen Square 1989 - Danny's MySpace Blog |

Take that Mao!

No, wasn't bing meant to be microsofts big rival to google?

This does not absolve them of the high crime of having assisted China.

I don't know, i don't really pay much attention to the origins of search engines. Also i'm illtirate so i don't read the search engine area of the newspaper, presuming there is one

But when those sources criticise your beloved Israel you pretend those sources are invalid.

Plz provide a post where I have said they were invalid kthx
