Evil Empires
There's an AP story about Internet companies and their Quisling appeasement with the Chinese government that's sickening to read. For instance, they insist that "no private business can resist China on its own." That's just plain, unmitigated double-speak. They don't have to do business in that country. They're simply thinking with their wallets rather than their hearts.
Another key quote
Google's corporate mantra, "Don't Be Evil," lost some of its resonance last month when it started a Chinese version of its popular search engine that doesn't provide links to content deemed unacceptable by the government.
points out the irony and double-speak that these companies use. It makes me ashamed to say that I use Yahoo! DSL and Gmail.
