Great Firewall of China
In order for the search engine company Google to be able to have access to China, they had to agree to censor their website. Since China is communist they censor the world wide web from their people. Supposedly, the company said that censoring their search results conlficts with their mission statement. Because of "selling out" to China, Googles stocks are falling. This goes to show that companies will do anything if it means making money for them as the article says; "It became a little clearer last week that there can be only one kind of company: the kind that makes money." In my opinion I dont think it is right that China censors their internet in the first place, but, I dont live in a communist country where you can't express your opinion. Google basically just sold out to censorship for money. Everything in the whole world revolves around money, whether you want to admit it or not. I think it was best said, when talking about the world and money, by Kanye West: "The people highest up got the lowest self esteem. The prettiest people do the ugliest things. For the road to riches and diamond rings."
