Comments on: Microsoft Doesn’t Think People In India Should Be Allowed to Search for the Term “Sex” http://thomashawk.com/2009/06/microsoft-doesnt-think-people-in-india-should-be-allowed-to-search-for-the-term-sex.html Sat, 26 May 2012 02:31:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: r4ds http://thomashawk.com/2009/06/microsoft-doesnt-think-people-in-india-should-be-allowed-to-search-for-the-term-sex.html/comment-page-1#comment-597254 r4ds Fri, 10 Jun 2011 02:31:25 +0000 http://thomashawk.com/?p=6428#comment-597254 For all the Google lovers :- Google is no hero when it comes to censorship – they bent over backwards in China. If they really believed in ‘Do no evil’ they should have stood their ground and fought for freedom of the interet. Alas, search share is the #1 goal for Google, and the motto of ‘Do no evil’ is no longer true with Google. And, just because Google is serving up responses that show scant respect to local laws, every other corporate should not be expect to.
