Google and Facebook took this stance and look where it got us? China just made their own bloody search engine and social network.

We need to stop looking to corporations as doing the jobs our government should be doing.

Let us keep passing the buck... We need to stop looking to governments as doing the jobs United Nations should be doing.

That's a good point but China is 1 of 5 nations in the UN with veto power.

I don’t think facebook took any stance.

Chinese gov’t just recognized how much data has on its users.
