We believed we could build a better search. We had a simple idea, that not all pages are created equal. Some are more important,
To me, this is about preserving history and making it available to everyone,
We don't know exactly how it will work. Advertisers want greater access, better accountability.
We gradually came to the realization that we were hurting not just ourselves but the Chinese people.
The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation.
