google and politics

i have been accused of worshiping at the altar of google. i don't agree with that, but i do like it a lot. bias specified, i would like to have a one-sided discussion about their current moves that have made a lot of fuss.
first, defying the justice department. what a great advertisement! they get lots of publicity, people who are upset that everyone else of note turned over the information are turning to google as their last stand of hope for privacy, and they get to appear noble in some circles (most importantly, the circle that includes their users). they DON'T WANT the gov. to restrict their searches any more, they make a lot of money from the porn industry, more restrictions mean less money. kids can get access to porn without the internet, they certainly don't need a search engine to get it. hey, guess what!, it's the parent's responsibility to regulate what their children view online, not the gov's. this is not china...
oh what a fabulous segue to topic two, google voluntarily filtering content in china. china is a HUGE market, if google wants to survive against the other search engine/media companies, they need to be in there now. the chinese gov. wouldn't let google grant access willy nilly even if they tried. when the gov. filters results you don't find out that you were being restricted, nothing shows up. when google filters results, you get a note saying 'hey, we filtered this'. that subtle difference can have a huge impact. when people know exactly what is being restricted it creates unrest and google coming to china could be a major step in capitalism taking hold in that country.
so basically, google - keep on keepin on, your service is fantastic and while i really think my idea related to your news service would put you ahead of everyone else, i still like you just the way you are.
