You're responding to a Chinese expat, you know. You're talking about hypotheticals while they know the reality.

Maybe ask some real questions instead of rhetorical ones?

That was a real question, you absolute weirdo. I am just flabbergasted that you and they have such disregard for human life that they consider participation in its oppression to be an intellectual exercise. You are sick.

I do because I very much doubt this is going to be unique to Google. Again, it depends on where you draw the baseline.

I also think its much harder to censor very broad and general set of ideas than specific issues. I think the resulting general improvement in access to information will result in a more educated populace and improved quality of life and people will want more and demand more of their government.
