NO its not bait its fact.
When was the last time China did not get things to go the way they want.
Internet censorship, what people said was impossible to do , was being done in China.
But now Google says no.
Now to top it all off and what is hilarious
iS all the member here have been going on about how bad Google is and how much better of they will be with out them.
But you don't get it do you yo are loosing Google. the best internet search engine out there. The best email, honestly your loosing "you been googled".
Well to be fair i use I-Google so Google practically runs my life. Google is the internet, or will inevitably be
but all everyone is saying is get lost, just because it said no to China for censorship.
I doubt China will let Google leave its sets a bad image.
But however if Google gets to stay it shows everyone that CPC can make concessions. Which is even more unlikely.
sir, did you really went through the first page comment by comment, especially the long one,posted by booo, explaning what are the possibles reason for its leaving? if you go through them carefully, maybe you may realise this was nothing but a trick! a trick that google intended to promote itself in china. here are some questions:
1)censorship was not a problem for google at all, many countries do that and google bowed to everyone of them, including china. so why all in a suddent, google decieded to leave because of "censorship"?
2) as google said, more than 20 companies in a variety of industries were attacked. financial giants ,political giants, hi tech giants... fair enough, worth a try at least. but for Gmail account? what a nonsense! there are millions of convenient and effective ways to find out what their owners are doing. so will google let us know the genuine reason of why they are being attacked or what they lost in the attack?
3)says google again, "...a sophisticated, coordinated attack... was mounted" + " Only two Gmail accounts appear to have been accessed". see , what a secure email system. but is gmail really that good?
4) is there a system(search engine and email server) more tempting than a censorship free and secure one? google it is, at least this is what google want us to believe! is there any better way to promote yourself rather than to launch a high-profile campaign: such as the statement of pulling out of china, no more censorship?
so, to sum up, i don't really think google is going to give up his 17% of the market share in china, on the contract, she wants more by sparking a heated debate.
