Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The Official Google Blog today outlines it’s plans to review Google’s presence in China, amid growing concerns over censorship and human rights.
While perhaps a little late, I am very impressed with Google’s stance here - and I really wish Apple would follow suit, especially after their latest run-in with the Chinese government over a few Dalai Lama apps. I still think it’s very unlikely that China will cave in to Google and offer uncensored Internet access in the country, but if Google doesn’t put up with that and shuts up shop, it will send a strong message to the government that no-one likes their filter - and I imagine it could (with time) cause a small negative effect on their economy.
If you really do take strong action in the next few weeks, I offer my congratulations to you - you’re making the world a better place.
