maybe from a philosophical standpoint, but in the end then the Chinese people don't have access to Google.
The options in China are similarly censored. So it isn't like Google would be engaged in something that is an outright negative for the end Chinese user.
Maybe people prefer Google to Baidu/Bing/whatever. So if you are getting the same x results from Baidu, Bing, Google, etc. but you prefer Google's experience/filtering/page rank/whatever, are you hindered in any meaningful way beyond what you were already by using the censored version of them?
