Google Isn’t Schizophrenic…And Neither is Google

On one hand, Google refuses to divulge search information to the US government.

Good for Google.

On the other hand, Google spinelessly acquiesces to the Chinese government by agreeing to censor “politically sensitive terms” on its Google China site. Oh yeah, no blogging capabilities or Gmail for the Chinese either. That’s how dissidents are born.

Bad Google. Bad, bad Google. There’s just no stench like the stench of hypocrisy.

I love co-founder Sergey Brin’s rationale on the topic:

“I didn't think I would come to this conclusion — but eventually I came to the conclusion that more information is better, even if it is not as full as we would like to see”

If you squint just right at that quote, you can juuuuuust manage to read between the lines. Just let your eyes go slightly out of focus, like one of those 3-D pictures with the Statue of Liberty in it.

“I didn't think I would come to this conclusion — but eventually I came to the conclusion that I WANT CHINA’S MONEY, AND I WILL CRUSH ALL WHO STAND BETWEEN ME AND THEIR MONEY. BWAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAA!”

Michelle Malkin has pics of some alternate Google logos. Have a good laugh.
