>Tough shit. China will just have to grow up.

Pretty funny reading the differences between this thread and the one from yesterday where Canada fined Google for not censoring information. In that one, people were all "Tough shit, Google has to follow the laws of countries they serve in! Not everyone is American, stupid Americans!"

Turns out, countries will have laws you disapprove of too!

There is a difference between Canada requiring Google follow the laws in Canada while operating in Canada, and China requiring stuff be censored globally to operate in China. If you are unable to see that difference, that's on you.

Follow the laws of countries you operate in. If you can't or won't, that's on you
