Both Google and Yahoo have been criticized for censoring their search results in China. What are your feelings about this? Why should Google, or why should Google not, produce different search results for different countries?
The Chinese government, unlike the American government, controls what Chinese citizens can access through the internet. It seems almost unbelievable that citizens have limited access to information in this fast-paced world of technological growth. I feel that individuals should be able to be exposed to information and use their own judgement on what to do with that information. While I understand Google's attempt to increase profit, it seems inconsistent to have a search engine available that limits what you can search for. I don't think that Google should produce different search results for different countries. Every story has multiple sides and the sides should be available to everybody. Censoring search results is causing the searcher to miss out on information.
