Today internet giant, Google announced that it may be shutting down its operations in China. China has long been known for its censorship of both the internet and the news and Google has finally become fed up with the unjust system. Google, "linked its decision to sophisticated cyberattacks on its computer systems that it suspected originated in China and that were aimed, at least in part, at the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists." In China itself the news of Google's possible departure was mostly quieted by further government censorship. In the few news outlets in which the story was released Google’s references to “free speech” and “surveillance” were omitted. The few people in China who have heard the news are quite upset about the decision but are mostly afraid to voice their opinion. For more information
