I'm still pissed that Google decided to censor its search results for the Chinese version of their search engine. Pissed, and disappointed, but not surprised.

I was, however, really surprised by all the praise that was initially heaped on Google for refusing to provide the U.S. government with search records the week before. First of all, it's not that fucking hard to say no to the U.S. government, especially if you are a large corporation making millions of dollars. Second of all, it took no courage. Courage would have meant standing up to the Chinese, meant saying no to gobs of money, and risking something - the anger of the Chinese government, business interests, etc.

This bullshit isn't what my parents signed up for.
