Censoring the Internet

Yahoo

The government is mad at google for censoring the internet but I think the anger is misplaced. Does the US government not censor the internet in terms of preventing child pornography or copy right infringement . I am not condoning these things but I am saying that they censor the internet in order to enforce laws. China is censoring the internet to enforce their own laws. These laws may be unjust but the act of censoring the internet to enforce the laws is not. If Google, et al. are in the wrong it is because they are trying to make money in a country whose rights are being infringed upon by their government and not for helping to censor the internet. So they should either to business in the country or not. If they do in fact do business in China, they should follow their laws. In essence, I think that the American goverment should stop trying to subvert other peoples government through economic means. Freedom of Speech is a noble thing to fight for, but the battle should be fought in a diplomatic and humanitarian arena and not in an economic one.
