I don't know that it's Google's place to be "standing up" for the Chinese people in their "fight against oppression".
But then again, it's nice to see a corporation willing to take a financial hit like this for something that it believes in (especially something as altruistic as this appears to be).
But then again, again, what if it wasn't something so altruistic. What if said corporation were fighting for something that didn't ring so much of "freedom of information". Do we want corporations stepping in on social issues and trying to force their will?
