Google is a hero to everyone that supports free speech

January 12, 2010

Google has decided to pull out of China. Google recently uncovered Chinese government sponsored hacking attacks launched from within China. The Chinese operatives had been gathering information about at least 60 human rights activists.

Google officials said they plan to discuss with Chinese government to determine if there is a way the company can still provide unfiltered search results in the country. Otherwise Google intends to completely leave the country.

“The decision to review our business operations in China has been incredibly hard, and we know that it will have potentially far-reaching consequences,” David Drummond, Google’s top lawyer stated on the company blog.

Honestly, today Google is a hero to everyone that supports free speech.
