WSJ?OTD NUMBER TWO

Hard work for us from the WSJ today. Two questions. Here is the second one.

"Do you approve of the way Google has dealt with China's Internet rules?"

I said NO and 68% of the other respondents agreed with me.

I thought it was bad enough that Yahoo and MS had bent over and held their ankles for the repressive government but to find Google bending to competitive and whatever other pressures really made me cringe.

I really liked their 'do no evil' mantra.

Well, we all make mistakes and evidently the two founders are aware that they have tripped up.

We shall see what we will shall see.

Ethics and values are very slippery things in a business setting and this is a more glaring example than most of that fact.
