G*****

I feel that google is doing the right thing by censoring there search results. China has a different culture. From a humanity perspective I do not like what Google is doing but then once I think about it for a minute I realize it is not really Google's decision to make. Google is one of if not the most used search engine in the world. They provide a very helpful service to people around the world at no cost to them, and we must remember they are in the business of making money. From a business standpoint the decision they made to censor results was an amazing choice. Without using this censorship the idea of Google may not even be able to exist in China. Google has made it possible to work around the local laws that affect the use of the internet. Google needs to produce these different results in other countries in order to keep the business in those countries. I feel that it is a good thing that Google made the effort to follow the laws of that area of the world. When deciding about whether or not it was okay for Google to make this decision we must keep in mind that this is the internet and that different country's version of Google can be accessed. I visited the chinese version of google, google.cn, to come to this realization. However in China the United States' version is most likely blocked from the public's use. I support what Google has done in China and believe that it is a good business decision but that does not mean that I think it is okay that China is blocking results from their citizens.
