#1 - Mon Jun 25, 2007 11:35 AM EDTTheir filthy sign is actually illustrative of the underlying public relations fluff in this article. Whether it is well intentioned or not, Google has acquired a reputation in recent months of cooperating with foreign governments, i.e. China, in censoring the Internet. Both the sign and their corporate free speech policies could use some serious elbow grease.
Google:
1.) To avoid censorship, refuse to condone censorship.
2.) Use your clout to refuse to do anything else.
3.) When in America, hire Americans to cut your lawn, they will have enough cultural savvy to brush the cuttings off the sign.
