We all know and love Google. Wired has an interesting article about the king of internet searches. It nicely covers some of the issues that Google has had to confront – lawsuits by the Church of Scientology, a ban in China, site blocking in Europe. Google hasn’t stood on principle, but conformed to what many in the tech community considers bad law, or worked with China. And I think rightly so — they have to work inside the law, and freedom in China is probably better served through a politically limited internet than no internet at all. But interestingly enough, Google will accept ads from porno sites, but not from liquor or tobacco sites. Some businesses are more equal than others.
