Don’t be evil!
There have been a lot of talking about “Google/Yahoo/Microsoft: don’t be evil”, and it’s perfect for me that people gets angry when they know that those companies decide to follow countries’ laws to make business.
I put “companies” in bold because what a company searches for, is to make profit. It is easy to understand. Then it should be easy to understand that Google wants to participate in the enormous market that China offers. And who says Google, says Yahoo, Cosco, Mc. Donalds, Starbucks or La Baguetina Catalana.
What I find not so perfect, is that people does not make so much noise when Google, yes, the same mega-evil company, decided NOT to give the US government it’s information about users’ searches..
What happens? If one company decides not to allow some things about the Dalai Lama, Tibet, democracy, etc. is “evil“? What about countries who deals with China? Countries who provides fuel for the trucks which transfer chinese population into the “Tibet Autonomous Region”. Countries who are making deals with China, and who provides it huge amounts of money to pay those ‘political officers’ who seek and arrest dissidents and after torture and kill them. And what about those countries who practice torture and death penalty and/or permit its ‘law oficcers’ the ‘shoot to kill’ policy? As for example…China, US, UK and so much other countries…
A company owes to its investors. But a countrie owes to a bigger thing: its citizens. Why nobody got out to the street with signs about “Tony Blair: don’t be evil!”? Saying Tony Blair, means any leader from any country that has commercial agreements with China, which are accomplice of China’s censorship.
