Google: Censorship of the web is futile

The Telegraph reports: “[Google CEO Eric Schmidt] said that attempts by governments to block web access were ultimately futile, and do not succeed in isolating citizens either from unfiltered news, or the ability to spread information. ‘We explain if they do this [block freedom of speech and communication] what will happen. Sometimes they moderate their behaviour and sometimes not. If they don’t listen to us it is at their peril,’ he told advertisers at a summit in Cannes.”
