Everything below this paragraph is beside the point, but rather answering other parts. Google isn't acting 'better' than China, and they're not angry at this time because of censorship. They're pissed because someone is screwing with their Gmail servers and all of the traits of the attack seem to point to a government institution - which is to say, the Chinese government.Megawat22 said:
And now, to directly address your latter comment: Google doesn't like censoring their information - it's a personal pride thing. They supply this awesome and useful product and the government says "Cut out this, this and this - oh, and this! Can't have that!" That would annoy anyone. They're not saying they're better than China, they just don't like offering half a service
2, Yes the censorship IS an issue for Google, since they're the ones directly dealing with it. The Censorship is an issue between Google and China - not China and the UN. Google is functioning as a company-entity, stating that it would much rather not be quite so crippled in its actions. Issues between a company and the government in charge are not really under the purview of the UN - they lie solely between the company and the government.
Google + Wikileaks + Anonymous + Chinese people VS Government of China.

My money is on Google.

Its not to long before this shit is gunna happen in the US too. We start on our first movement towards this when ISPs all over America are moving to a bandwidth cap for net speed. They are also trying to backdoor in censorship laws that make posting a video on youtube with copyrighted material in it a Federal Offense.
This means that net reviewers, AMV creators, Let's Players, etc are all in danger of going to Prison for what are imo pretty much better then anything on TV. (of course this will effect actual people guilty of piracy too but collateral damage much?)
The people upstairs just can't be happy until they clamp down complete control. That is their one downfall, the one thing that will truly keep humanity grounded on earth until every resource is mined out of the earth.
That or I'm just a paranoid crazy person, which is entirely possible.

So when Google boots out the Chinese government, what will China be renamed to? Googolia? Googleland?
Communist China's days are numbered. It may not be today. It may not be until 10 years from now. But their government, will eventually come to an end. Capitalism has been encroaching on their government for over a decade now. It's only a matter of time.
Probably many decades later if lower class tolerance from the past teaches us anything.Logic 0 said:
