I reposted this which I posted on a different thread since it is more relevent here.
This is quoted from news - "谷歌的聲明強調,提供未經審查的中文搜索內容,這種做法「完全合法」,但「中國政府已經非常明確地表示,審查是一項沒有商量餘地的法律要求。」谷歌唯有把搜尋服務轉至香港。"
My question about Google's statement is - "based on the law of which country Google made this claim"?
First, if Google said it is based on the law of China, then it is impossible to claim its act of not complying with the censorship is legal.
Second, if Google said it is based on the law of America, then how would the law of America is applicable to China and the operation of google.cn is within China and under the jurisdiction of Chinese law.
The American law can only regulate what cannot be done overseas according to the American law since Google is an American company, but it cannot determine what can be done overseas since that is under the law of the country which Google operates within.
I just 以事論事, and I don’t understand why Google said that. At the meantime, I also welcome challenges. |
