Don't you love the irony of someone criticizing something as a "propaganda machine" the same time a "Klansmen" has him eating out of his palm? Really entertaining stuff. | ||

the worst thing you can ever do in China is to challenge the authority of the gov. by publicly refusing to filter search terms is a direct violation of the gov policy. the gov is well known for its intolerance of disobedience and utter lack of mercy. i'd be surprised if google.cn can still be accessed from mainland by next week. | ||

i was in China in Oct 2009 and youtube.com, which is owned google, is not accessible from there. so i guess google probably had some issues with the Chinese gov going back for some time now. | ||

I would be surprised if those organizations recently began the hacking; it must have been an ongoing process for a long time. I feel that Google only chose to disclose such delicate information as a result of a bigger conflict in interest. I doubt we would ever hear the full story. I agree. People who are experienced with Google's affiliated marketing would know that Google's business is content delivery. The freer the market, the more Google will thrive. I have no doubt that Google make a lot of money from Chinese market but how much of that really ends up in their pocket? I wouldn't be surprised if someone important suddenly decided that they want a piece of that pie. Like it or not, to make money in China, you need to understand the 'Chinese reality'. I wonder what will happen to that Lee Kai Fu guy, last time I heard, he is starting his own tech company, maybe he knows what's up. | ||

A few hours damn near every Iranian government website got taken down/vandalized in response. Pretty lulz IMO. yeah, it was apparently the same group that took down twitter a little while back. strange - what would they be attacking china for? | ||

Instead I'll just say mad props Google, mad props. They are risking millions of dollars (completely made up figure, could be billions) because of ethical issues. Not something many other corporations would do. | ||

Because hackers and pirates can get huge fees when they are caught whereas google is basicly stealing thousands and thousands of books ( unpunished ) and they have no rights to do so. They doesn't respect intellectual property but the music, game or book industries are just too affraid to sue them. Hopefully States aren't and that why Google got fined a couple of time for stealing the books of some State libraries in France. | ||
