Google Search Engines

Google’s choice to proceed with a modified version of its Chinese search engine isn’t any of my business. In other words, whatever Chinese government and Google agree on, I agree on. It’s China, and China should be run however they see fit, as long as lives aren’t being risked, which in this case it isn’t. I don’t agree with censoring a person’s view on a subject or respected public figure, but it’s their company, their rules. If you don’t agree with the views of your country, I would suggest that you either protest against it, hoping for a change or leave. Not everyone is going to agree on an issue such as this. The Google motto “Don’t be evil,” referred to Google’s competitors who Google believed exploited their users/readers to certain content. I think that censoring opinions goes against their motto. Google is a hypocrite if they do not see that they’re doing what they stated that their oppositions use to do.

The article does not make me feel differently about Google because I never look at large corporations with a close eye. Although I probably should, that never came to mind before. Since I’ve starting using the internet my daily searches would include Google or Yahoo. I have tried sites like Ask.com, Msn.com, Dogpile.com, and Bing.com, but none of the list results are as on point to what I am looking for as Google has been. Like the “Esse Est indicato in Google” states many people use Google.com as their library. Students like myself “google it” instead of researching it at a local library so the information that Google and any other search engine provides is crucial. The information of the past can affect a child’s future and Google needs to realize that nest time they decide to censor something. I would buy stock in Google because business and personal shouldn’t mix and no matter what I think Google will be profitable for years to come.

I think that Google tracking regional trend searches is a good thing. This would be a great gauge for what local residents are searching for. This would help advertisers, news television and radio stations. Google collecting medical information is a great thing. It can prepare hospitals ahead of time just in case they get an abnormal amount of patients that need the same treatment. As long as identities of the searchers aren’t being released or investigated then I completely agree with the premise that it’s better to be prepared than not.
