Lightbulb sure its censorship

but hey china doesnt have a first amendment and is a communist
country so they do as they please...

our own country is strongly censored too but by much more deceptive
and behind the scenes methods that aren't as obvious.

when you consider what an internet connection can do for
education in the deep isolated regions of china you wouldnt
mind so much for them(google) to compete with MS and Yahoo.
Some of these people still dont have motorized water pumps
and when a single PC gets established in a village its a miracle.
