Catspaw’s Guide to the Inevitably Insane:

When Google announced that they would be deploying a censored Google China, the subject of internet censorship received media attention like it never had before. It became a topic that the general public discussed and protested. But this isn’t a story that began with Google in China. This wasn’t a first for Google, and it wasn’t a first for China, and it certainly wasn’t a first for the world.

It is so rare to hear Catsy say what’s on her mind without the tongue/cheek that it is worth the read for the novelty itself. But as usual it is a well thought-out, researched and written ‘rant’. Useful for my course this spring.
