Google may not be directly doing evil with its new censored search engine for China, but they’re certainly not doing anything particularly good. This blog is still accessible (for the moment), but it would be interesting to see how quickly it would get dropped if I would start regularly criticizing, say, China’s abysmal human rights record, their oppressive government, their policies towards the de facto independent Taiwan, etc. So far this month, I have had 34 hits from China (which is proportionally about the same as the 42 I had for last month). While I’m not going to pretend that I am or ever will be capable of righting the wrongs that I see perpetrated by the Chinese government, but I try to do what is in my power to at least make my feelings known on the subject.
Google, however, obviously does not.
