If Google follows suit, what we (or at least I) thought of as a new kind of socially beneficial big business that put people ahead of profits may turn not to be the case. I really thought Google and Yahoo were capitalists out to do good, at least generally. Yet sadly, they seem to be acting like any giant company: which is whatever increases the stock value. Heartbreaking. Is this really worth bringing search to China?

When Yahoo's (and Google's) search results are suspect and Yahoo helps send people to prison for thoughtcrime, it can't be good for PR. </p> <p>As China becomes more and more free, any company that played footsie with the Chinese government will be more and more reviled by Chinese people (I hope anyway).<br /> </p> Is sucking up to the Chinese government a good long term strategy? When Yahoo’s (and Google’s) search results are suspect and Yahoo helps send people to prison for thoughtcrime, it can’t be good for PR.

As China becomes more and more free, any company that played footsie with the Chinese government will be more and more reviled by Chinese people (I hope anyway).

Yahoo Hong Kong is not subject to Chinese law and the actions yahoo hong kong took were not legal. Yahoo HK did not have to work with the Chinese police and was under no legal obligations aside from possible "trouble" in China to obey China's request. Additionally much of the media in HK was upset when Yahoo HK gave into China's request becuase it undermines their independence.</p> I e-mailed this into boingboing but what the hell here too.
