Google in China: Giving In To The Censors?

Google in China: Google to stop redirecting users in China to uncensored site - latimes.com.  Chinese Government censors want to regulate what their citizens see. This flies in the face of every freedom loving citizen of the world, and presages a future conflict over Internet freedom. Google is admittedly between a rock and a hard place. Defy the Chinese censors, as it has been doing by redirecting searches inside China to an open Hong Kong site, or risk losing its business licenses inside China, which is the biggest marketplace in the world right now. Google has altered its methods; Chinese searchers who want an open and free search will have to click a link to the Hong Kong site. Will this satisfy the Chinese Government? Will they be able to track users' Internet use, and punish those who dare to click the Hong Kong link? We are fortunate to live in a country in which such Government action is illegal. However, we are also citizens of the world, and we owe it to freedom loving people everywhere to raise our voices in opposition to the Chinese Government's actions.
