今天在Slashdot上看到一则新闻，Google的股东们在董事会的英明建议之下投票否决了一项关于反对自我审查的提案。文中提到如果提案的通过将会意味着类似Google.cn这样进行自我审查的站点将无法继续生存，换句话说，Google会被迫将中国的搜索引擎市场拱手让给baidu。资本家显然还不会傻到这种地步，于是找了很多借口诸如"We concluded that although we weren’t wild about the restrictions, it was even worse to not try to serve those users at all"、“applying a rigid set of rules here is not always going to get us to the right outcome."。血淋淋的事实又一次让我们看清了这些人的真面目，下面是这项提案的要求：
Data that can identify individual users should not be hosted in Internet-restricting countries, where political speech can be treated as a crime by the legal system. The company will not engage in pro-active censorship. The company will use all legal means to resist demands for censorship. The company will only comply with such demands if required to do so through legally binding procedures. Users will be clearly informed when the company has acceded to legally binding government requests to filter or otherwise censor content that the user is trying to access. Users should be informed about the company's data retention practices, and the ways in which their data is shared with third parties. The company will document all cases where legally binding censorship requests have been complied with, and that information will be publicly available. 历史评论 暂无评论。
