Ben Popper – Culture + Technology

Just wrote my first blog post for CBS on the real issue Google has with China. Google has managed to frame this as a matter of principles and politics, a smart move that helps them win back some of the support they lost for compromising with the Chinese on censorship.

But the truth is that Google’s was willing   to compromise on “being evil” if it meant winning a share of the fastest growing internet market in the world. What they weren’t willing to gamble with was the heart of their global business, customer trust.
