This is crazy. It should be up to the person searching what he wants to see.

well it's either that or no Google in china. You can't fight the government there like you can here, they just don't give a crap because they know you need them more than they need you.

And if google wants to make any yen, they have to give into the government.

Yuan ..... Yen is Japan ....

Regardless of how much we may disagree, it's the right of a sovereign nation to determine what can and can't be viewed.

at least they didn't make a Google China

**DumberDrummer** · 01-25-2006, 05:02 PM

yet they have a google klingon

Anyway, sometimes people tend to forget that Google is, first and foremost, a company devoted to making profit. People have built up this "google is perfect" mentality, that they forget sometimes that google exists to make money.

You can't make money by telling the chinese government to go screw itself.

This is why they never should have taken the company public.
