Obama supports Google in its discussions with China in refusing to administer search restrictions on the site. And if necessary, back out their presence in the country altogether.
China has been reported to have its own cyber-hacking crack effort at attempting to get into the networks of American defense and technology firms through Google. And a recent statement from China's Foreign Ministry indicated Google should follow the rules as a law-abiding international presence in China.
Chinese citizens left flowers in memorial for Google at its headquarters in China in response to the firm's possible departure, which is both touching and strange. Google's main competitor, Baidu, is assumed to benefit from Google's absence, except for the likelihood that Baidu will end up competing with smaller players and the internet market overall in China would take a blow.
How do you restrict internet searches? No Facebook? That's like trying to police cyberspace, the final frontier. Nowadays, forget the moon. Not to mention, search filters are probably a total pain in tech-speak to maintain, from Google's perspective.
