Chinese bloggers debate Google
View at BBC NEWS
The problem is not that Google is censoring its search service, it is that China doesn't have free speech.
But I'm always supportive of kicking up a fuss about American companies. Yahoo, Google and Microsoft are part of the 'Great Firewall'. They helped build the infrastructure to block information.
If I send an email to anyone with a Yahoo.cn account which has the words 'democracy' or 'civil society', it will bounce back.
These companies are the keepers of information from a billion people for profit. Google is just the latest manifestation of the bigger story.
