Google says that they will do the right thing (in their opinion) and stop collaborating with the Chinese regime, and your first comment to that is about the lost opportunity for profit. I'm shocked.

Now, I agree that Google probably does this for rather selfish reasons, abandoning a market that's not profitable to them anyway in a PR effective way. However, I wonder: Is there no room in American capitalism for consideration of the morality of helping evil governments oppress their people? Is this not a discussion we should have had years ago?
