^Google.com blocked in China? To restrict public's access to information. Weird.

You may be misunderstanding what is going on here, and this is old news

What is going on is that in order to do business (rake in money) from China, Google collaborated with the Chinese govt. and agreed to censor itself in order to do business there.


Now let's turn that around. If Google agreed to censorship in China, why not the U.S. and the rest of the free world. How do YOU know that when you search for something on Google, that it's not being censored from you? Huh?

Maybe next time you're looking for info on Condaleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa or Georgie and his buddies, the hits you "don't get" just might be...............
