If you keep doing what you've always done, you will keep getting what you've always gotten.-- Jenine Bucker December 09, 2002Latest essay...Check out my latest:Google, Censorship, and the Hostage Dilemma "On September 8, 2002, the Chinese government blocked Google, one of the Internet's biggest search engines. The government of China regularly blocks websites that it considers "dangerous" to its regime, but Google.com is a search engine - it only indexes the Internet without bias or preference to the content of a particular website. So why would Google be banned in China, especially considering that it is a crucial research tool without adequate Chinese substitutes? I believe that the answer lies in a game theory scenario known as the hostage dilemma. Because Google had the potential to greatly improve coordination between pro-democracy supporters, it may pose a threat to the Chinese regime. While the exact intentions of China in blocking Google are not clear, the incident holds a lesson for anyone trying to support or suppress democratic movements in authoritarian regimes."
