Google sticking to their guns

I read this article today about Google turning off their filtering in China. The Chinese government's response was quick but basically came down to telling Google to not politicise the situation.WTF. Politics is business between countries.

Its fantastic that a company would try to stand up for its customers and face a insurmountable opposition in order to do the morally right thing. even if it means losing a massively growing market and alienating themselves from it. that takes real balls.

I completely applaud Google i their efforts. Hopefully this will raise more issues and break down more walls.
