Google’s Shameful Explanation
Google gave yesterday an explanation , on its official blog, for its decision to agree for censorship search results in order to have local present in china. After reading this explanation I’m not sure if it wasn’t better for Google not to explain at all.
Maybe it was grid, maybe the hubris - that affected the pure results we seeing lately from Google, but the long post is an intellectual insult. How can they expect us to believe that censored search is better than the poor quality service they are proving in China currently?
From the company that came up with the slogan “do not do evil” we have higher expectations. And when the explanation to bend over for the dictators and provide service is:
“We ultimately reached our decision by asking ourselves which course would most effectively further Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally useful and accessible. Or, put simply: how can we provide the greatest access to information to the greatest number of people?”
how can we ever trust them?
The Guys who runs Google are very bright; do they really think that blocking the information and images, like the ones on this post, about the horrible regime in Peking from the Chinese people can be consider “provide the greatest access to information to the greatest number of people”?Do they really beleive that the public is going to "buy" this explanation? God I hope not.
