Google reevaluates China

Google announces a new approach to China.
That Google are unwilling to compromise about the freedom of the internet is most welcome news indeed. Google have exercised some censorship on google.ch since they launched. But with the increasing smackdown on the internet in China and attacks on Google's infrastructure, targeting Chinese human rights activists, Google say that unless they can operate a unfiltered service in China they will pull out.

Perhaps they will eventually say the same thing to the DMCA complaints ... that is probably too much to hope for. But at least we will be able to cry about it without having our protests filtered.
