(In an earlier post, I briefly mentioned Google’s “don’t be evil” policy.) Quite a few people have been talking about this and the contradiction between “don’t be evil” and their Chinese censorship. I’m actually not really an opponent or advocate of Google on this issue. It’s true that Google is playing accomplice to Chinese censorship here, but it’s not as if they have an option to offer uncensored searches to the Chinese. China would simply block Google out of the Chinese market if they didn’t agree to this. Further, there are already some censored search engines available inside China. So, from Google’s standpoint, taking the moral highground by refusing to censor websearches would block them out of the Chinese market (a large and growing market), it would give those Chinese search-engines a large google-free environment where they could grow and ultimately challenge Google in the future. From that standpoint, agreeing to censor their websearches helps Google suppress potential rivals from emerging out of China.
