Nice preemptive shot as Google prepares to pick up its ball and go home. I guess China will next talk about the deep government ties between Baidu and the Chinese regime? Google may be right to stop censoring their results but they were wrong and naive to do it in the first place. Of course, they're still partnering with numerous governments around the world to censor results so they're not the knight in shining armor that they'd have everyone believe. BBC:
China's state media has attacked Google for having what it said were "intricate ties" with the US government.
Google provides US intelligence agencies with a record of its search engine results, the state-run news agency Xinhua said.
It also accused Google of trying to change Chinese society by imposing American values on it.
Google denied that it was influenced by the US government, a spokesperson for the company was quoted as saying by AP.
"Google's high-level officials have intricate ties with the US government. It is also an open secret that some security experts in the Pentagon are from Google", reporters from Xinhua wrote in a commentary.
