Don't use Google?

CBC News: Don't use Google, Tibetan protesters urge

"Google has agreed to adhere to Beijing's censorship policies and limit certain search results in China to get broader access to the large market.
...
Among the topics sensitive to Beijing are Taiwan's independence and 1989's Tiananmen Square massacre, human rights and issues involving Tibet. On Google's Chinese site, searches for topics, such as the Dalai Lama, often come up with omitted sites or name direct users to Chinese government websites. "


...And the world just felt so happy and wholesome.... dammit.

Funny though, because for some reason I'd always viewed Google as "the good guys": ousting the evil Microsoft overlords while providing a fantastic world-over search tool to better educate the nations.... I geuss its all about the bottom line with them too. hehe, or did msn buy them out? Maybe this is just a foot in the door until they can find a loophole around the censorship. But then again that might just be too optimistic.
