[citation][nom]Dirtman73[/nom]Standing up to the Chinese would have meant pulling out of China completely. Instead, they redirected traffic to a site the Chinese will eventually shut down anyway, and went on with business as usual. And I might add that the story says nothing about whether the ICP renewal allows the Chinese gov. continue to censoring search results (like Google ever gave a rat's ass about that anyway). You can defend Google all you want, but their actions have shown a callous disregard for basic human rights in China. Learn to read between the lines, dipshit, and you might come off as a little more intelligent.[/citation]
No one is defending Google, only you are attacking it, I dont know about you but everyone in here is reading the above state facts.
1) On March 22, the search giant officially stopped censoring search results for Google.cn
2) Google's .com.hk portal where uncensored results could be viewed
Reading between the lines is another way of saying you are basing your opinion on nothing more than hearsay, guesswork, inuendo and hyperbole.
Not very intelligent, so to accuse someone else of the same thing just shows how vastly out of tune you are with reality.
