The recent cyber attack on Google seems to have launched a “freedom crusade” against the restrictive internet policies of China. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said in a speech on Thursday that, “In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation’s networks can be an attack on all.” China has rebutted, claiming that the monster internet search engine is the “White House’s Google.”
China does not agree with the statements being made questioning the internet freedom of their country, even with the censoring of sensitive search terms on Google. The internet giant, however, has made a clear statement that it is no longer willing to censor these results. Analysts predict that Google will most likely leave China, losing a few hundred million dollars in revenue.
As of now, Google is still operating in China, and search results are still being censored.
