Google Gags Tiananmen Square Massacre

In the continuing race to the bottom by major Western firms appeasing Chinese censorship, Google (which Michelle Malkin says should be renamed “GAGGED”) has reached agreement to roll out Chinese-language Google.cn in China. As AP reports: “Online search engine leader Google Inc. has agreed to censor its results in China, adhering to the country’s free-speech restrictions in return for better access in the Internet’s fastest growing market [where] some topics, such as Taiwan’s independence and 1989’s Tiananmen Square massacre remain forbidden subjects.”

If this were 60-years ago, would Google be agreeing to censor out news of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in order to have access to Nazi Germany’s Europe? Why are we tolerating this corporate immorality? Is it time for a "Jackson-Vanik" Amendment to reaffirm our nation's stand with the Chinese, and their future leaders, once the current thugocrats are replaced?
