    Google may shut down operations in China

    http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/12...china-attacks/

    It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    According to the Guardian newspaper they're going to end their policy of censorship in China.

    about time... China doesn't really need google though, it's a huge country with plenty of other IT resources.

    see, this is why eric schmit is wrong about privacy. if google didn't keep the data, it wouldn't be subject to breach.
    ceasing censorship in china however, does knock them down on peg on the latter to evil though. good on em.

    Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

    illustrates the danger having so much data accumulated in one place (and why I have concerns about privacy with google). Even if google does not do evil (which is not a given), other organizations do do evil.

    However, first time I've seen google in a positive light for a while now their actions over this security breach are commendable.

    Any site collecting user data online is unsafe IMHO..
