Re: Hmm

I'm not arguing that it makes business sense to do any of this, nor that I actually expect Google to even consider it, nor that if Google did it that China would improve. However, it would be a way they could comply with Chinese law without abetting the human rights abuse. That was the original question: were we who view Google's Chinese search engine as a problem suggesting Google break Chinese law. I answered that question.

For the record, just because someone else will do a bad thing does not make it reasonable for you to do so. I also don't remember Germany blocking Google because it didn't censor, nor their asking for a special google that censors. China and other dictatorships seem to be the ones asking for that, so let's not make up a theoretical scenario which is most definitely not happening.
