Google Threatens Pullout From China After E-Mail Accounts Are Hacked
Google threatened to end its operations in China after it discovered that the e-mail accounts of human rights activists had been breached.
The company said it had detected a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China." Google says further investigation revealed that "a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists." Google did not specifically accuse the Chinese government. But the company added that it is "no longer willing to continue censoring our results" on its Chinese search engine, as the government requires. Google says the decision could force it to shut down its Chinese site and its offices in the country.
i hope google comes and stays in laos because that will be a great contribution to our country and economy.
i believe in little censorship but when it comes to censoring knowledge and information about the world that is wrong..
any way if google opened in lao that will give access to almost limiltless amount world knowledge and opportunities.
Google really doesn't operate anything in Laos. You can still access Google.com or Google.la because it probably uses the same basic infrastructure that it uses everywhere else. I would assume that China has specialized servers that a Google operates through, specifically for Chinese users.
