Google: the Non-Moral Authority in China

In an Op-ed for TechCrunch, Paul Carr says of Google's recent "stance" on China:

"But what it's absolutely not is a "moral position", nor one that they should be particularly applauded for, any more than a man who has spent four years beating his wife should be applauded when he decides to stop."

Regardless of the race to make bank on the massive market that is China, there's no doubt that Google's timing to pull out, coinciding with the recent discovery of the human activists' gmail hacks, is a wise one.
