The Power of Government > The Basis of Economy ?
Which internet search engine is used more in the world today? Yahoo or Google? I suppose that most people say that Google is more popular than Yahoo today. Why is Google more popular than other search engines? Google.com has been steadily successful with the obvious policy, the liberty of research for information is well known. However, the fact that Google in China contracted with Chinese government to block some words which be unable to searched such as alcohol, gay, and religion, etc shows that the basis of economy could be changed by a society or culture. Although I don't know how much profit google.com earns from China, I think google.com should have not changed its policy, the liberty of research for information because of other users in the future. I think google.com should have kept its policy. Do you think to change a main policy is better choice for more benefit?

I think it is a tricky thing to consider weither or not Google should "sell out" and block some words in its search process. If something like this happened in the US i think Google would find itself in quite an economic problem. With the resriction of a countries liberties (ie, searching for what they want) many would be outraged and thus use google less, makeing their profit drop.But perhaps the profit google is recieving from China outways any loss of profit they would incure.
