Well, it's a tip to review your search habits, so it's still a tip.

So a company is helping a country to suppress its citizens and we cannot 
think anything of it? You sound like the Chinese government itself: "You 
don't have to think. We know what's best for you".

Ten years ago, I expected Internet to be a force to bring democracy to 
the whole world. I guess I was wrong.

I'm quite dissapointed with Google.

There are big companies with ethics, like HP. If I remember correctly, 
they pulled their business out of some countries like Romania and 
Bulgaria because the only way to do business there was with corruption.

So it is possible.
