This week on the web we have mostly been talking about censorship. To be more specific, Google’s decision to censor some search results in order to be allowed to run a service out of China.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who spoke about the controversial decision at the Davos economic conference last week, said that the company had made the decision to comply with the requests of the Chinese government essentially as a lesser-of-two-evils option. It allowed the company to get behind the “great firewall” of China.
