I am not happy with the fact that Google is censoring Chinese web users. Google’s motivation for this censorship is blatantly obvious. By complying with China’s government, Google is saying that they are still a capitalist endeavor. Google’s Senior Counsel said it in less obvious terms, “In deciding how best to approach the Chinese–or any–market, we must balance our commitments to satisfy the interest of users, expand access to information, and respond to local conditions.” Aren’t Chinese users interested in all forms of information? Even if it is listed as subversive? How exactly are they expanding access by censoring a person’s ability to find information? The last bit about local conditions is the key phrase to Google’s money driven philosophy. This saddens me greatly.
