google

it does seem that google must soon change it's name to hypocrite.
when asked by the american government to cough up information about web searches they say no.
"Cooperating with the government "is a slippery slope and it's a path we shouldn't go down", Google co-founder Sergey Brin told industry analysts earlier this month. " (from bbc.com)
but isn't this the same google that is happy to cooperate with the chinese government in restricting what the chinese population can search for via google. in that case they don't mind helping the government clamp down on what people search for. but hey we understand google (or gulag as it was being called for while) you need to crack that chinese market. and you wouldn't want to get tough with those guys, because you know they would just tell you to sod off.
but with the american government it is easier to take the tough stance - becuase it means you can once again pretend to be about freedom of information and standing up against government pressure.
have to wonder is that because you really care - or is it more to do with your stock prices? and a near pr stunt to help us all forget how you agreed to the chinese restrictions.
