Still we must feel that this is a step
In the WRONG DIRECTION. They start by agreeing to some requests and then slowly widdle their ability to stand up for what they believe in, and soon they cave at anything a government body tells them to do.

We shouldn't even start down this road, I applauded them for telling the US to go to hell when it came to giving up sampled data for searches. Now to bend over for censorships.

That action is like building ICBMs, but not taking blame because they weren't the ones to lauch them.

Google was not participating in this. Now every country that feels they need to have their content censored will be able to say, "Well you did it for China, why not us."

If knowledge is power and power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, then I guess I don't need to know everything.
