The up-coming Davos Forum is the perfect place to have a real debate about the limits to global information freedom. ++ The Google vs. China fight is not a David vs. Goliath-like struggle, for technologies do not side with freedom and progress, but profit. ++ Hilary Clinton, advocating the American position, invites Mr. Hu to "tear down this Great Firewall". But this goes far beyond a sheer digital cold war. ++ The human right to information is at stake and "googlistas," supporters of Google, want this controversy to happen.
