Google has had enough of bullshit from the China government, like nothing happened on June 4, 1989 in Tiananmen Square kind of fantasy history for one. In all likelihood Google is going to pull out of China, voluntarily or not, if it insists not to censor its search results, in the wake of a security breach found in its Gmail server.

At long last, Google is practicing what it preaches: "don't be evil."

Google ought to know better. Their consultants must have told them that censorship is a way of life in China, before they entered the China market. Teenagers and even young children in HK will know that.

Back then I think 2006, they conveniently argued that censored search is better than no search. Now they got back to search or no search. And of course there is the security breach and the espionage charges that is bound to escalate to the state level. And since Google can't secure the Internet you wonder who could. It's a big whose computers got compromised and what's stolen. But I think it's great, I always enjoy a shit storm. Let China manufacture its searches, make up their own stories they think fit.
