& reveals much about the balance of power—that a month on, Google is still silent on its plans to cooperative w/Chinese censors. Even in the face of black & white leaked docs, it won't answer press questions. Or questions from politicians—nothing http://www.wired.com/... Nicholas Thompson / @nxthompson : “If Google thinks we're just going to go away, they're sadly mistaken.” @MarkWarner doesn't seem happy that Google won't send a top exec to testify. http://www.wired.com/...
