Google just got slightly less evil in my eyes.

We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China. —Google

  • It's a brave decision to withdraw from China where everyone is trying to make a share there.
    Which is more important? Human value or Money value?
    People became blinded when they smelled the taste of money (they even never saw it).
    It's time for us to consider if we still have to follow the wrong direction where we only leaving our most precious value behind. Country like China never truly respect a human's value but more and more people from outside accepting this model because of the value of money.
    Thank you Google, human value means more to you because you guys are human.
