Comments on: “Don’t Be Evil”: Google Censors Incriminating Planned Parenthood Videos http://theologyandculture.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/dont-be-evil-google-censors-incriminating-planned-parenthood-videos/ THEOLOGY & CULTURE: a collision of philosophy, theology, the arts, biblical studies, politics, current events, and basically everything else Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:17:14 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Thomas http://theologyandculture.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/dont-be-evil-google-censors-incriminating-planned-parenthood-videos/#comment-869 Thomas Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:49:28 +0000 http://theologyandculture.wordpress.com/?p=1251#comment-869 It's a tough question. Yahoo has had questionable practices in China as well with the arrest of that journalist. When companies get as big as Google you can be almost certain that they are involved/support something that contradicts biblical ethics and morality. We would do well to remember that free speech is no longer "free." Google loses tons of money on YouTube and I'm sure they would rather use it for their own ends than promote a Christian agenda.

I believe GoodSearch is in partnership with Yahoo. GoodSearch will actually donate one penny to your choice of charity with every web search through GoodSearch. Visible School is set up through GoodSearch and has raised $122 in 9 months. Also, there is GoodShop (http://goodshop.com) where you can search for items on Amazon, Ebay, Apple, etc, and if you buy anything from these companies, it will donate a percentage of your purchase price to your charity of choice. Visible School has raised about $114 through that in 9 months. So, it is not a lot, but every little helps. :) I guess I am encouraged not to use Google anymore.
