Sacrificing principles to do business with the Chinese? Who do they think they are, the U.S. Goverment?

First they give the US government all records of searches. Then they agree to censor results for red China.

Corporations have no soul or national allegiance.

Those cute cuddly Chinese!
Just love them. And they love us. Our systems are completely compatible. So, let's send some more manufacturing there! Communists are ok, as long as they're capitialist communists, right?

Our [Google's] informal corporate motto is "Don't be evil."

Now being changed to "Don't be evil - well, not too evil at least."

So much for the corporate motto of "Don't be evil".

This is nothing. Hell, Google is censored (by Google) here in the US!

How dare a private company agree to local regulations just to sell their product! They shouldn't be allowed to make their own decisions - after all it is obvious this was just because they wanted to expand their market in a place where not censoring meant no service at all. The nerve of these guys! /sarc

Google isn't the only search engine. Based on the human rights violations by China alone... I will choose to use anything but Google for my searches.
Shouldn't we as consumers take a stand against a company that would so willingly hop into bed with the Chinese Govt.?

Google the word failure. That should tell you all you need to know about Google.
