- darthweef, on 05/19/2008, -2/+9Google, has proven itself in the past as being "big brother" and the governments are going to use this to their advantage. The old adage that "You have nothing to hide, if you're not doing anything wrong" is only valid as long as you can trust the governments to only make laws that are beneficial, and I think we all lost that trust hundreds of years ago.
- AlanFang, on 05/19/2008, -3/+8Google needs to stand up for themselves and freedom of speech rights. Just because something is law doesn't make it right.
- DesertDude, on 05/20/2008, -1/+6Rat bastards. "Complying with local laws"? *****. OK, comply with local laws in Burma and give a list of some Burmese citizens who reported government atrocities...to the government. Be a good, law-abiding company.
- armoreddillo, on 05/19/2008, -1/+5well law is not inherently good,
so yes, sometimes it is. - dig1x, on 05/20/2008, -2/+5Google has long ago past the "do no evil", they are looking down a VERY unrealistic P/E ratio, and if they dont generate revenue, their is going to be a big POP in their stock price.
This is *just* the beginning, these guys are getting the benefit of the doubt from a lot of people (the interweb, but more importantly Wall Street).
This is nothing -- watch out, Google must leverage what it has, and that is user data. - JerryAscione, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Google=Government.

- juusux, on 05/20/2008, -2/+3so let me get the end of the article straight... the US plans to push this "Global Online Freedom Act" to control the happenings of the world, but not let it effect them? Make it so only the US can get information but not any other country, thats garbage. When are the States gonna stop putting themselves above everyone else? Doing so has already made them worse than everyone else, with the help of their greed and corruption.
As for Google disclosing information, its the law, so abide by it and if its unfair then push for it to be thrown out. Maybe they should just erase vulgar comments instead of arresting someone for it, people say crap all the time, mostly wishing they hadn't said such things shortly after. - sanman, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2Why should the law prevent you from criticizing, or even lampooning or caricaturing politicians? That's a basic fundamental right.
Sonia Gandhi and her party, on the other hand, have a history of using their power to silence critics. That's wrong - it's corrupt. - colin8651, on 05/20/2008, -2/+2Not when the moto is do no evil. They should change it to "Do No Evil, Unless the Evil is Legal"

- PinkFloydFan, on 05/20/2008, -2/+1Good to see you back on, brother.
- Azimuth1, on 05/20/2008, -2/+1Google does not have the right to tell other countries' governments what is right and what is wrong. Google is not a political entity and it's a sad day if they become one and enforce their Western ideologies (such as freedom of speech, etc.) on other countries. While I support freedom of speech, it isn't to be imposed on another country by a software company.

- infinitely, on 05/20/2008, -1/+0This "Global Online Freedom Act" sounds really ***** disturbing. My government is scaring me.
And google was waay wrong. You can't push for laws to be changed if you don't have any freedom. - skopp, on 05/19/2008, -2/+0how is expressionism against the law?
- nicholasdog, on 05/19/2008, -5/+3Say it ain't so Google!
- coolboy0286, on 05/19/2008, -9/+1Abiding by the law is evil?
