Google pulls their search engine out of China, and moves to Hong Kong where it can send uncensored search results to the people of China. The real question here is, "Why did China feel it necessary to censor Google search results?" Perhaps this may shed some light... NOTE: The author of this comic requests that you visit his web site and please refrain from copying the cartoon within this thread and whining like a democrat for having to visit his site. Thanks!
Google out, Bing in.
I’m not throwing Google any kudos for this, it’s purely to get ‘atta boys’ and it’s a business decision. They haven’t changed their liberal business morals. They’re frickin liberal lefties that want to get into data collection on individuals. They just got tired of the censorship in China. They totally submitted to it initially to help grow their business. They can all just go ‘bleep’ themselves.
Business all of kinds should pull out of COMMUNIST CHINA!
GREAT point about GOOGLE being a data collection tool that could be used in very BAD ways to control the people.
For some actual insight into communist China, read the book “Three Swans: Three Daughters on China” by Jung Chang.
The book is an autobiography written by the third daughter. Her grandmother was a warlord’s concubine, and her mother (and father) were high ranking officials in China’s communist party.
From the web, I have ... “A riveting tale of three generations spanning the end of Old China, Mao’s regime and the Japanese occupation. Chang chronicles the enormous changes in China since 1929 through her family’s story, which includes arrest during the Cultural Revolution, exile to the Sichuan wilderness and coming to terms with the bewildering state of China today. It’s quite a tale, wonderfully told without a trace of rancor or bitterness. Living in London since 1978, Chang visits her mother back in China every year. You can imagine Chang with notebook in hand back in the family apartment absorbed in the stories of her much-loved mother. The book opens with the statement, “At the age of 15 my grandmother became the concubine of a warlord general. It was 1929 and China was in chaos.”
Yes. Because wait till Red China decides it wants said business for it’s own..... who’s gonna stop them?
Agreed. Google censors stuff all the time and promotes their lefty agenda. Hypocrites.
Uh, isn’t Hong Kong in China now?
Did they pull out because of censorship (which they’ve never minded before) or because they got hacked?
More resources to monitor and censor here in the USA
Amen to that. Google just couldnt handle that Baidu stock is worth MORE than Google stock.
Eric Schmidt (formerly of Google) , who is now Obowma’s tech czar, was the pointman who also takes his marching orders from his former company and it backfired.
