Even successful internet mega enterprenuers like Larry Page and Sergey Brin who build their business on the principle of "freedom and transparency of information "also realised that free speech doesn't pay the bills. Is this the modern day version of the "policy of appeasement"?

[Jose Mourinho]

Welcome to the real world. Absolute freedom has always been a myth and it still is. China is a huge country with a huge population and an economy which is developing at near impossible fast rate. It needs the check and control. Or chaos would set in. And the so-called freedom advocaters will be no where to be found when such happens. I am a strong believer in a regulated and controlled environment - I call it crafted environment.
