可能吧:关于谷歌推出中国

Posted by 麦客沈 on 5:53 PM in , , , , ,

以下内容转自可能吧

感谢国家感谢党。

可能吧永远 没有新闻通稿,没有红头文件下达,我们力撑Google

北京时间3月23日凌晨,Google在其官 方博客宣布google.cn的搜索服务将跳转到 google.com.hk,其它google.cn的服务暂时保留。也就是说,现在在google.cn上,你将能享受无审查的搜索。噢不,现在在 google.cn上搜索中国政府认为的敏感词,google.cn马上就会与你断开连接。

不要相信五毛党的论调与新闻办下发的通 稿,Google的退出对于中国互联网来说,是一种倒退,这种倒退不会立竿见影,慢慢地,那些审查机器会为以往的行为负上沉重的代价。

零、Google官方声明搜索业务退出中国

北京时间3月23日凌晨,Google在其英文官方博客宣布将其搜索业务退出中国。即日起,google.cn的文字搜索、图片搜 索等会转跳到google.com.hk,Google对于中国政府的黑客行动表示愤慨,对于不透明的审查制度表示抵制。目前google.cn上的服务 正在逐步迁移。

Google在其官方博客写道(来自谷奥的翻译):

做 出停止 Google.cn 搜索服务审查的决定是艰难的,我们希望世界上包括在中国大陆人民在内的更多人可以使用我们的服务。但是中国政府在与我们的谈判中非常明确的表示,自我审查 是没有任何回旋余地的法律要求。所以我们相信通过 Google.com.hk 来提供无审查的搜索是一个符合情理的选择——完全符合法律,并且可以使中国人民获得更多的信息。

我们衷心希望中国政府能尊重我们的决定,尽管 我们知道通过这个方式提供的服务有可能随时被阻断。为此,我们建立了一个每天规律更新的页面来监控中国大陆访 问各个 Google 服务的情况,这样所有人都可以随时看到哪个 Google 服务在中国可以访问。

这个页面截图如下所示:

可以看到,很多Google的服务在中国早已无法正常访问

一、为什么Google 的退出让人感到遗憾?

Google退出中国对你会有什么影响?我在Twitter上提出了这个问题,瞬间得到了将 近100个回复。

有人担心百度会一家独大,搜索结果里的虚假信息会日益增多;很多人担心,他们喜爱的Google服务,比如 Gmail, Reader, Calendar将无法使用;有站长担心Adsense项目会被搁置;也有人认为,这将使得中国互联网倒退10年。

在这些草根网民的眼 里,Google退出中国并不如政府的某些官员所说–“中国互联网照样健康发展”。Google为互联网带来的改变,绝 不仅仅是创造了最好的搜索引擎。

Google是一家值得所有互联网从业者敬佩的公司,它总是无时无刻给互联网带来新的惊喜以及新的 模式。在一定程度上,Google代表着免费互联网的趋 势,代表着技术的前进方向,代表着网络中立的理念。这是Google的三个代表。

1、免费服务专家

当企业还在花钱购买或搭建自己的邮箱服务时,Google推出了面向企业服务的Google Apps,中小企业使用其免费版绰绰有余;当程序员需要花钱购买服务器来搭建网络程序时,Google推出了免费的App Engine,免费用户可以搭建10个程序。当人们还在为大容量邮箱付费时,Google推出了免费的G级邮箱-Gmail。

Google 将很多本来需要收费的服务变成免费,让对手措手不及。虽然是免费,但这些服务的质量并没有让人担忧,相反,Google推出了很多既免费又实用的服务。比 如阅读器、日程管理、邮箱、Google地球、网站统计分析工具、网络相册、建站空间……

Google推出这么多免费的服务,它不需要盈利么?Google不 直接通过服务来收费,它为用户提供增值服务,为用户提供相关性高的广告,甚至和用户分享广告收入。Google信奉“关注使用者,则一切将水到渠成( Focus on the user and all else will follow.)”的理念。用户喜欢免费大邮箱,它就做大邮箱,用户喜欢免费,它就推出免费的服务。当用户彻底爱上了Google,盈利并不是一个难以思 考的问题。

2、技 术推动者

Google一直扮演着技术推动者的角色,在很多时候,当人们以 为一项技术已经走到尽头的时候,Google会告诉你:错了,这才刚刚开始。

在Google未创立的时候,搜索引擎技术并 没有为人们带来太多的便利,因为那时搜索引擎里垃圾信息泛滥,搜索“苹果电脑”可能第一个结果是某某男科医院的链接。后来,正如我们所知,Google带 来了新的搜索技术,它能将垃圾信息抛到底部,让搜索者真正找到需要的信息。

在Gmail推出之前,很多人认为邮箱服务已经没有多少改进的空间 了。然而,Gmail的推出打破了人们的想法。Gmail创新的会话机制让邮件更有条理;用户可以在Gmail里在线聊天,聊天记录会永久保存在 Gmail里;以强大的搜索引擎为依托,Gmail能判断99%以上的垃圾邮件。

Google不但在互联网服务上革了旧技 术的命,在软件、硬件上也如此。Google推出Chrome浏览器时,它是世界上最快的浏览器。Google还推出了开源的手机系统,让运营商能方便地 打造自己的手机。

3、 搜索中立的理念

Google认 为,民主在不仅适用于真实社会,在互联网也适应。Google之所以要退出中国,原因不是它无法和百度竞争,也不是为 了炒作自己提高知名度。实际上百度根本不是Google的对手,它也不需要再提高所谓的知名度。

真实的 情况是,Google认为搜索引擎是中立的,审查应该是透明的。Google不愿意搜索引擎成为政治工具,它不愿意屏蔽某一方的观点,让事情变得不公正, 不中立。中国政府表示拒绝政治化的Google,事实上 Google今天拒绝的是一个政治化的互联网

Google会按照具体的法律规定,屏蔽 证据充分的侵权信息。在美国,一 切都是按照法律程序来走的。而在中国,政府对Google的要求显然超出了一个依法行事的企业的守则,因为在中国,审查是不透明的,没有法例明言 的。所以它无法接受。

二、Google为什么要拖到现在退出?

在《宁为玉碎不为瓦全-为Google喝彩》的文章 下面,有很多人留言说我傻、被Google欺骗了感情。也有人说Google欺骗他的感情,说了走又不走。

那篇文章发布于1月,距 离现在已经2个月了。当时Google宣布打算退出中国,并希望与中国政府谈判。Google之所以没有马上退出,我认为有以下原因:

1、它希望能与中国政府达成协议,但政府拒绝没有审查机器的互联网,Google希望能更多地与中国沟通

2、Google中国不希望退出,极力反对这个决定

3、Google退出需要做很多善后工作,这需要一定的 时间

我一直不屑于那些说我是白痴或傻逼的留言,因为我知道Google会给我们一个交待–这只是时间的问题。

事实上Google从来没说过要马上撤退,无论从商业角度考虑还是从员工的利益来考虑,Google有一万个不退出中国的理由。Google拖 了这么久,最终决定退出,说明它已经尽了最大的努力,它希 望留在中国,但中国政府容不下Google

Google在其官方声明里有这么一句:

最 后,我们在此声明,所有关于本次事件的决定都来自于我们美国的管理团队,没有任何一个中国大陆员工可以或应该为此事承担责任。

Google希望它的决定不会让中国的员工受到政治打压。

三、Google的大多数服务依然能正常使 用

很多用户担心Google退出中国后,很多服务将无法使用。实际上,Google是2006年正式进入中国的, 在2006年之前,中国网民在大多数情况下都能正常使用Google的服务。google.com 是当时中国网民使用得最多的搜索引擎之一。

2006年,Google正式在中国设立分公司,并大力开展本地化工作。在06年-10年期间,Google中国推出了谷歌音乐、谷歌拼音输 入法、谷歌导航、谷歌热榜等本地化服务,同时,Google中国优化了中文的搜索结果。最重要的是,Google中国推出了google.cn搜索服务, 中国用户再也不需要担心在google.com上搜索某些关键词会导致网络被重置。

也就是说,Google退出中国,对用户带来较 大影响的只是Google中国本地化团队推出的像谷歌音乐这样的服务。其它的,比如Gmail、Reader完全不受影响,因为这些服务本身并不是中国团 队推出的,服务器也不在中国。搜索可以使用google.com,甚至可以使用google.co.uk和google.fr,不管是“哪个国家”的 Google,都能完美地搜索各种语言,这其中当然包括中文。

对于倚靠Adsense作为主要收入的站长来说,他们依然可以投放 Adsense广告,因为Google的广告团队没有退 出,Google在中国依然有销售部门

而唯一让我担心的是,如果中国政府恼羞成怒, 将"google.com"列为敏感词,屏蔽了所有Google的服务,那前面说的所有都不成立。我不能说中国政府不会走这一步,但我相信这不是说一说就 能做的,这里要考虑的东西有很多。

四、中国政府口中的遵守法律根本毫无逻辑

Google一宣布退 出,各大新闻网站就发布了通稿《国 新办网络局就谷歌搜索退出中国内地发表谈话》,这篇通稿里重复了中国外交部、工信部、新闻办等多个部门一直一来倒背如流的话语:

外国公司在中 国经营必须遵守中国法律。谷歌公司违背进入中国市场时作出的书面承诺,停止对搜索服务进行过滤,并就黑客攻击影射和指责中国,这是完全错误的。我们坚决反 对将商业问题政治化,对谷歌公司的无理指责和做法表示不满和愤慨。

中国政府鼓励互联网发展和普及,促进互联网对外开放。中国互联网上的 交流和言论十分活跃,电子商务等发展迅速。事实证明,中国互联网的投资环境、发展环境是好的。中国将坚定不移地坚持对外开放的方针,欢迎外国企业参与中国 互联网发展,并为外商到中国经营发展提供良好服务。中国互联网依然会保持快速发展的势头。

事 实上这段话看似逻辑严谨,但没有事实基础:

1、必须遵守的不是法律,是红头文件

我在《审查机器》里已经详细说明,中国没有那条法例 规定哪些内容需要被过滤,审查是不透明的,网管办每天给Google下发审查的关键词名单。

2、中国首先将商业问题政治化

中国政府一直希望能将互联网“管”起来,并且将互联网开放视为“亡党亡国”的威胁。所以它很早就开始用各种政策来限制互联 网的发展,比如备案制度、设立网管办,最为人所知的是建立 中国网络防火墙。网络防火墙将所有中国政府“不喜欢”的言论全部屏蔽在外。

中国政府希望 商业公司也能屏蔽它“不喜欢”的言论,如果商业公司不这样做,将无法在中国运营。是中国首先将商业问题政治化。

3、中国互联网并不开放

全球最大的3个web2.0网站:YoutubeTwitterFacebook,在中国均遭屏蔽,中国互联网的开放从何谈起?

4、中国互联网的言论十分活跃 只是个传说

只要你搜索一下“该 评论已关闭 site:news.163.com”就知道中国互联网的言论有多“十分活跃”了。

五、抹黑行动开始

接下来我们一定会看到这样的景象:

1、新华网、人民网、中国网等“官方新闻 网站”会发布很多Google的负面社论

2、网易、新浪、搜狐等新闻网站关于Google的正面新闻一律不予刊登

3、网易、新浪、搜狐等新闻网站关于Google的新闻跟帖里肯定是一边倒支持政府的

事实上在Google宣布打算退出到今天正式退出期间,人民网发布了 不少关于Google的社论:

又比如新华网,不少御用文人会发布抨击Google的社论,比如Google在全球演 “闹”剧,这篇社论在新华网被删掉了,不知道为什么。

接下来的抹黑文章肯定会更多。Google从来都基于事实和数据说 话,从来不抹黑中国,而中国却起用五毛党来 捏造事实,轰击Google。是谁小气,是谁下流,一目了然。

我不是说所有说Google不好的都是五毛党,但要对对象进行抨击, 首先要有事实依据,空口说大话只会带来国际笑话

光靠五毛党引导舆论是不行 的,这种老掉牙的方式在网民智商比猪还高的时代已经行不通了。在人人网,网友自发给“小谷哥哥”送礼物:

六、中国互联网的倒退

Google在一定程 度上代表着先进技术的前进方向,它的退出对中国互联网来说,是一种倒退。

中国互联网普遍缺乏创新,说是人的原因也好,国情的原因也 好,事实就是那样摆在眼前。就经济和技术发展方面来看,中国不应该让Google离开。

Google离开中国,其在中文搜索上的改 进力度必然会降低。另一方面,由于Google不接受审查,它可能在中国无法访问。可以想象,百度将有可能占有更高的市场份额。其它的本来份额就不大的搜索引擎其实不会有太大的 机会来分享Google的份额,强者愈强的道理在哪个领域都适用。

我担心的是,假如百度失去了在中国市场上的唯一对手,它在技术上 的改进是否会减缓、搜索质量是否会降低。对于一个运动员来说,没有对手是很可怕的,因为他将没有追求,没有目标。百度本身在技术上的创新并不 多,Google的离去有可能让它将重点完全偏移到营销上,为 了获取更多的利润而降低搜索质量,可能搜索结果里会出现更多的虚假广告

Facebook, Twitter, Google等一大批具有划时代意义的互联网企业,具备的是一种自上而下的创新精神,他们不是在固有模式下创新,而是打破旧的框架,创造一种新的模式–不 管是商业模式还是运作模式。这正好是中国互联网企业所缺乏的。Facebook和Twitter均没有打入中国市场,Google打入了,却被赶走。创 新被政策赶走,这不仅仅是中国互联网的损失

在中国,做站长是悲哀的

七、外企或远 离中国

中国的市场看起来很吸引,但并不适合所有外企,尤其是互联网外企。

中国政府目前正加 紧在互联网方面的国有投入,中国网络电视台的建立、个人建站需要办理烦琐的手续……都可以看作是中国互联网国进民退的标志。

在一个市场化不彻底,而且政策越来越收紧的领域,外企必定会慎 重考虑进入中国互联网市场的可能性。Google的退出给了这些外企极大的警示。

而面对这样的局面,政府部门是否应该仔细考虑,无形的手是否毛手毛脚动作太多了点?

别以为中国有10多亿的市场就很了不起,不是所有人都愿意放下尊严来中国投资。

八、不仅仅是鼓掌

除了为Google喝彩,为Google鼓掌,我还能做什么?

在写这篇文章的时候,我一直在问自己这个问 题。

我告诉我自己,要继续写博客,要继续输出价值观,要继续批判那些无理的政策,要继续揭露那些丑恶的谎言。

一 家商业公司可以为了尊严,而放弃可能潜力无穷的市场,这种信仰深深地打动了我,这就是正义。

这篇文章有可能导致可能吧被封,但又有 何足惜?我宁愿站在外面被雨淋,也不愿意蹲在只有我身体1/3高度的屋檐下。我热爱自由,我从来没说过要推翻什么,事 实上我没有这个能力,我只是,热爱自由。

九、题外话:为什么google.cn一直没有登录入口?

很 多人都留意到,以前google.cn的右上角是没有“登录”链接的,而google.com.hk或google.com等都有登录入口,为什么?

存放在google.cn下的谷歌音乐能保存用户的播放列表,但这些列表不能保存到用户的Google帐户下,只能使用人人网、MSN、 Yahoo、蝌蚪网等帐号登录保存,为什么?

这是因为Google认为它在中国无法保护用户的隐私

因为它知道中国是一个 按照领导想法运行的国家,用户的隐私无法得到实质性法律的保障。它不愿意存储用户的隐私数据。

所以我们能看到,以前的 Google.cn上没有任何一个页面有登录入口,一旦google.cn保存用户的数据,政府就有权(不管是依法的,还是强行的)查看这些数据。

有人抱怨Gmail访问速度慢,为什么Google不在中国摆放邮件服务器呢?和不在google.cn设置登录入口一样,因为它不能确保 用户的资料安全,它不能确保用户的资料只有在合法的情况下才被查看。你知道,公 安们在机房搬走一台服务器几乎不需要任何法律文件的授权

『FAQ』当谷歌不在了,如何用Google

Posted by 麦客沈 on 9:11 PM in , , , , , ,

Google说是要和政府交涉,但基于天朝政府的一贯态度,Google撤出中国可以算是已经定局了。本文列举一些可能出现的常见问题,当然有些可能会看起来十分小白,主要是为了服务大众。

以下内容都不是官方解答。

Q:为什么现在Google.com和Google.cn的搜索结果不一样?

A:因为Google.cn的服务器架在中国境内,要受相关法规制约,所以内容会被审查和筛选。

Q:Google退出中国后,如何使用Google?

A:可以继续使用Google.com域名访问Google,如果你现在访问Google.com会被重定向到Google.cn,那么访问Google.com/ncr就可以切换回标准英文界面。

Q:我的Gmail, Reader等账户会受影响么?

A:基本上所有Google提供的产品和服务都不会受到影响。这些功能如Gmail, Reader, Scholar与Google在华基本没有关系。Google原本就没有把这些服务的服务器架设在中国,也一直没在Google.cn上提供账户服务,所以可以说你的Google账户和原来一样安全(也可以说一样危险 =.=)。

Q:Google.com的默认界面是英文,我想看中文,搜中文怎么办?

A:在Google.com首页点右上角的Search Setting,新页面中Display Google tips and messages in一项选择Chinese (Simplified),然后点右上的Save Preferences,然后就可以使用中文界面了(虽然这个界面看上去和Google.cn很像,但搜索结果是没有经过审查过滤的)。这时候你还可以再点进搜索设置(被你刚才设置成中文界面了),勾选喜欢用以下语言显示的网页然后选择你想搜索的语言范围(比如只勾选简体中文、繁体中文和英文)

Q:Google Maps呢?

A:现时maps.google.com和ditu.google.cn(maps.google.cn)的服务中,中国地区地图的提供商(mapabc)是相同的,唯一的区别是.com版是中英双语的,继续使用maps服务应该影响不大。

Q:如果某一天Google.com被GFW封了怎么办?

A:Google 在全球有很多很多服务器,Google.com如果不行了,可以尝试Google.com.tw,Google.co.jp,Google.co.uk等 等,这些网站虽然针对不同地区,但都可以当作Google.com来用,也都可以使用中文界面搜索中文内容。当然如果Google所有的域名都被封了,那 是真没辙了。:(

Q:什么是GFW?

A:请Google。

2009 in photos

Posted by 麦客沈 on 8:56 PM in , , ,
The year 2009 is now coming to a close, and it's time to take a look back over the past 12 months through photographs.

War-orphan Faustin Mugisa, 8, who has machete scars on his head and body, stands at the Kizito orphanage in Bunia in northeastern Congo February 24, 2009.
