Google quits censoring search in China  

Posted by Annie Liao in , , ,

Goggle announced on Monday 3/22 that it has stopped censoring search results in China although Chinese government has been very clear that self-censorship is a non-negotiable legal requirement. Goggle has the gut to fight for its users in order to provide them Internet freedom and access to information.

It is also interesting to see how a big company like Goggle has the power to influence a country. If Goggle survives, China's online market will be completely open to the world. If Goggle failed, even like Goggle,a huge internet provider, will loss a tremendous amount of potential users. This risky move will be carefully monitored by the world. We never know when the Chinese government will kick Goggle out of the country.

That is really interesting how Google took a risk like that. I think that Google would be able to survive that and possibly make China change their mind because Google is not only one of the popular search engines in the world but also one of the most reliable. If Google does get kicked out of the country, I honestly do think that there will be an uproar because so many people depend on it for e-mail, analyzing business performance, advertising, and more.
