Political Considerations Another Facet of Google's Decision to Exit China

Follow up to Google Discontinues Censored Search in Mainland China and An Interview with David Drummond of Google about the company’s new policies in China, additional perspective as follows:

  • New York Times, Google Searches for a Foreign Policy:”When Google announced last week that it would shut its censored online search service in China, it was doing more than standing up to a repressive government: it was showing that, with the United States still struggling to develop a foreign policy for the digital age, Internet companies need to articulate their own foreign policies.”
  • Washington Post – On Leadership: Views on Google’s refusal to continue censorship in China by Benjamin W. Heineman Jr., business ethics expert and senior fellow at Harvard University’s schools of law and government.
