Don’t Be Evil…but if you are being Evil at least have the balls to admit it. Will this transparency save the Google image. Suspend your disbelief.

From Ars Technica

Although Google’s informal corporate motto is “Don’t be evil,” the “different kind of company” has found itself the target of criticism for some of its actions. Most notable is its decision to capitulate to censorship demands made by the Chinese government in order to secure a google.cn web address and operate freely in the country.

Google cofounder Sergey Brin says that the company may ultimately decide to bail out of the Chinese market if it becomes too uncomfortable with the way things are going there. Saying that the Chinese government insisted on “a set of rules that we weren’t comfortable with,” Brin described Google’s decision to set up shop in China as a difficult one that “compromised its principles.”
