Google's Downfall?

Google has recently declined to attend a congressional hearing on the censorship of media in China. Google has recently agreed with the Chinese government to censor search results deemed "subversive" by government officials. Often censored sites are blogs and other sites promoting freedom and democracy.

My opinion of Google is becoming worse and worse as they continuingly willingly agree to lower their standards. Many bloggers that use adsense are dropping adsense because they're that infuriated about it. And you know, I don't blame them all that much. I don't know I would go that far, but it still ticks me off. When they first decided to censor search results, their stock went down 12%, or $70. That shows how much the American people stand with Google on this issue. Google better make up for what they are doing if they want to continue being the world's largest search engine.
