Re:Sheer Hypocrisy (Score 1)

Sir/Madam, I'm not a stockholder, I'm a college freshman (with a political science major). So let's get *that* out of the way, at least. What I'm saying is that there are people in China just like there are those in Cuba, Burma/Myanmar, or Zimbabwe, despite the fact that they all have (at present) shitty examples of human governance for various reasons. Because of the media hype and its orientation toward the fact that the ruling party has the word "Communist" in it, I do not accept the issue with China as being of a moral nature, but instead being mostly political. And, of course, to restrict your company's business based upon politics (except in the case where said politics would be detrimental to your company's generation of revenue) is considerably playing your company to the ***lowest common denominator***. Thus, in this case, I'm literally thanking God that Google has shown itself to be above such behaviour; instead, I'm calling foul on those here who have politicized the whole matter, peppering it with such overly-used buzzwords as "freedom", "democracy" and "human rights", particularly since the use of Google or any search engine, censored or no, will always benefit the end user, be he/she in a country like China or in the United Kingdom. Is Google harming the already-limited "liberties" of the average human end user in China with the provision of a limited-return version of itself, by any chance?
