Google pulling out of China



Google has threatened to end www.google.cn in China over concerns about censorship and hacking. Hacking targeted a flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer, violating Internet user privacy, while censorship is a long-running dispute regarding human rights. Yahoo supports the decision, but Microsoft has no plans to exit China. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer disagrees with the situation: “There are attacks every day. I don’t think there was anything unusual, so I don’t understand.”
