Google je zagrozil z umikom s kitajskega trga, potem ko so hekerji izvedli prefinjene napade na elektronsko pošto kitajskih oporečnikov.
Pred kratkim so kibernetski vohuni napadli spletno stran Googla in še najmanj 20 drugih podjetij, da bi lahko vdrli v predale elektronske pošte aktivistov z vsega sveta, so sporočili iz ameriškega spletnega velikana in zagotovili, da jim je večino napada uspelo odbiti.
V Googlu so sporočili, da zaradi spletnega vohunstva znova razmišljajo o svoji poslovni dejavnosti na Kitajskem, predvsem pa niso več pripravljeni filtrirati rezultatov spletnih iskanj, ki jih uporabljajo uporabniki na Kitajskem.
"Ti napadi in nadzor, ki so ga razkrili, skupaj s poskusi v preteklem letu za nadaljnje omejevanje svobode govora na spletu so nas pripeljali do sklepa, da moramo preučiti možnost naših poslovnih dejavnosti na Kitajskem," je v objavi na blogu dejal Googlov izvršni direktor za pravne zadeve David Drummond.
Google je na kitajski trg vstopil leta 2006, a je prej moral sprejeti pogoje oblasti, ki so zahtevale cenzuriranje določenih zadetkov pri iskanju na njegovi spletni strani google.cn. Trenutno obvladuje okoli tretjino kitajskega trga, kar je še vedno daleč zadaj za najbolj priljubljeno spletno stranjo na Kitajskem Baidu.
www.google.cn potem pa vpišite npr. kakšno reč v stilu (sex, porn, ali pa vašo najljubšo starleto..)
Bogi Kitajčki.
Hospital cleaners are worth more to society than elite City bankers, according to new analysis. Our new report, A Bit Rich?, uses new quantification techniques to calculate the value created for society by a range of different professions.
A total of six different jobs were analysed to assess their overall value. These are the study's main findings:
* The elite banker
"Rather than being wealth creators bankers are being handsomely rewarded for bringing the global financial system to the brink of collapse
Paid between £500,000 and £80m a year, leading bankers destroy £7 of value for every pound they generate".
* Childcare workers
"Both for families and society as a whole, looking after children could not be more important. As well as providing a valuable service for families, they release earnings potential by allowing parents to continue working. For every pound they are paid they generate up to £9.50 worth of benefits to society."
* Hospital cleaners
"Play a vital role in the workings of healthcare facilities. They not only clean hospitals and maintain hygiene standards but also contribute to wider health outcomes. For every pound paid, over £10 in social value is created."
* Advertising executives
The industry "encourages high spending and indebtedness. It can create insatiable aspirations, fuelling feelings of dissatisfaction, inadequacy and stress. For a salary of between £50,000 and £12m top advertising executives destroy £11 of value for every pound in value they generate".
* Tax accountants
"Every pound that a tax accountant saves a client is a pound which otherwise would have gone to HM Revenue. For a salary of between £75,000 and £200,000, tax accountants destroy £47 in value, for every pound they generate."
* Waste recycling workers
"Do a range of different jobs that relate to processing and preventing waste and promoting recycling. Carbon emissions are significantly reduced. There is also a value in reusing goods. For every pound of value spent on wages, £12 of value is generated for society."
The research also makes a variety of policy recommendations to align pay more closely with the value of work.
These include establishing a high pay commission, building social and environmental value into prices, and introducing more progressive taxation.
Grožnje Googla zelo zanimive, ker s tem praktično obtožujejo Kitajske oblasti, da so one izvedle kiber-napade na aktiviste, torej ne kakšna skupina zagretih posameznikov ampak ljudje, ki so profesionalni hekerji v službi Ljudske Republike Kitajske. Očitno so bili ti napadi za Google kaplja čez rob in tudi milijoni Kitajcev, ki besno klikajo po Googlovem iskalniku niso več vredni cenzuriranja in slabe publicitete.
Osebno pa ne verjamem, da se bo Google kar tako umaknil, ker bi čez noč nadgradil svoje etične standarde.
