Google gagged update
My last post on Google elicited some good questions about the policy of censorship in China... now I have some news and updates on the topic.
1. Google pulls its 'we don't censor' statement from its FAQ
2. Google stock has fallen and its image is irreparably damaged
3. Some radical parties are now launching divestment action for Google shares
4. Even Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame has noted the Google backlash of BlogAds and Google AdWords boycotts.
The suffering continues.

The stock plunge is unrelated to the China affair. If anything, access to China would have buoyed the market there. Fund managers are profoudly amoral -- they don't give a damn unless you're breaking the law. Google has been "overperforming" and the price adjustment reflects the fact that that has ceased. If it begins overperforming again, it'll go back up ... China may help it do that.
