Recently it seems like messages from Google are oddly targeted. Just as I finished posting
virtual protest signs against Google censorship, I played Google's Da Vinci Code game and the
solution to the puzzle was one word, "Censorship."
Earlier this week I responded to Henry Blodget's thread about
Google censorship alternatives, saying that Google's hands aren't tied, they
really do have a choice in this. They can choose not to build a massive and efficient censorship system -- though they would pay a price in having google.com
occasionally blocked and often slow for Chinese users.
So it was curious today when a Gmail Webclip appeared, quoting Aristotle:
Yes, there always is a choice. And isn't that the whole point of the Don't Be Evil ethic after all? Choosing to forgo the obviously wrong path even when it yields benefits in the short term?
