G versus G, and G wins

It has been five days since a judge declared Google users' search off-limits for the government. While Google (and its users, and bloggers) are going to town about it "winning" the case, surely they also realise that this is not going to be the end of government interference when it comes to the Internet. In a way, it is a partial win for both Google and the Government, the two Gs -- Google will not give up search terms data, while the government will ask for its indexes.

Politicians are control freaks, and with the Internet, they would love it. The call for Internet users should be to forever block governments in their "evil" mission to control the Internet. If they do manage to control it, it will be the ultimate failure for the freedom of speech. All we have to do is look at China, where censorship is applied to, hear this, give freedom of speech to its people. This is somewhat like dictator-ruled North Korea, whose official name is Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The mind shudders.
