Of course. Google protects child pornographers while it cheerfully obeys Beijing.

Heck with China. I’m still looking for a conservative-friendly/fair alternative to Google and Yahoo.

Dang it. On some evenings in China while on business and not in the mood to go out, I watch various videos on YouTube for entertainment.

if Google wants to operate in China, they have to play by the Chinese rules.

Perhaps a Chinese language server farm in Tibet. If they cared…

I visited Google’s offices in Bejing and also had lunch with the founder of Baidu, the Chinese google rip-off.

Met w/ the VP of Asia for Google. They talk about being uncensored, blah blah, but the reality is, if Google wants to operate in China, they have to play by the Chinese rules.

Google doesn’t have the market share that Baidu has anyway, so they are already at a disadvantage.

Google can make all the free, open information statements they want, but they aren’t going to let accountability stand in the way of billions of Chinese internet users.

No more YouTube in China…

This post will probably get my site blacklisted in China. The people of China no longer have access to YouTube, a company spokesperson confirmed Tuesday. “We understand there are reports of users being unable to access YouTube within the People’s Rep…

If China also blocks Current TV, then I’m with them.

[...] China has apparently blocked the YouTube video-sharing website because it had videos showing soldiers beating monks and other Tibetans. A Chinese government spokesman would not confirm whether YouTube had indeed been blocked. China has a history of blocking websites which carry messages it views as politically unacceptable. I wonder how long before the US decides to block Fox News, and other conservative websites? eD No TweetBacks yet.

Oh Yah! Google will bend again.

Maybe they will move their headquarters up to the Castro District in SanFran and hire Barney Frank as a consultant.

You mean like the China made rubbers the US Government is going to buy

Note that the Chinese prophylactics are not lubricated but still have the embedded bits of steel and glass ‘for your pleasure’.

The spokesperson offered no explanation as to why the video-sharing site had become inaccessible, but a BBC news report indicates that Chinese authorities blocked access to YouTube because ~~it hosted videos of Chinese soldiers beating monks and other Tibetans~~ it wanted to follow the "Obama Model" of transparency.

...Dat's a good little socialist. "We hab noting to hide...it is simply a glitch in da capitalist programing, that our gifted scientists will fix. It howeber, is not a priority."
