I´ve written a short article about google suppressing search results in some countries which did not seem to bother the public opinion in those countries and elsewhere. Recent news about google china censoring search results on the other hand seem to create more public discussion. Should western companies bow to countries like china that have a different view of freedom of opinion.
I´am not sure why it creates more discussion. I can´t see a big difference between the suppression of search results in countries like germany and france compared to the suppression in china. Maybe someone else could enlighten me about the difference that I´am not seeing here. Nevertheless blog.outer-court.com compared some searches done with google.com and google.cn and displayes those results as graphics next to each other for comparision.
Take a look if you are interested in censorship.
