that clears it up.. no internet access is better than censored access, right?

You're not suggesting that without Google there would be no internet
access in China, are you?

no, my bad..
Maybe I should have said no search engine is better than a restricted search
engine?

Censorship is only as good as the people trying to implement it...

you have to know WHAT to block and block all possibilities... a daunting task...

Several tries in the states have failed because of the different meaning of
different words... such as breast.. that would have been blocked by most
censorship tries and as the argument goes, women would not be able to get
information on breast cancer..

I'm sue that there are many creative folks in China that will take advantage of
having Google to get around the censorship..
