      I am glad that Google is as big as it is, it's very hard if not impossible to keep shady stuff behind covers when you are this big.

      What in the world. I have no love in my heart for Google but I'm amazed from a human rights perspective that they'd allow things like human rights to be censored like this. And the tracking down of shocked employees makes it sound like Google is running their own internal version of 1984.

        They care more about being allowed to operate in China than about human rights. It's all about that money.
