China, Google & Web freedom vs. security

 
  Hour 1 After suffering a cyber-attack that it says traces back to Taiwan and was aimed partially at Chinese human-rights activists, Google says it will no longer censor Web search results according to the Chinese government's orders. The incident, and what preceded it, has raised all kinds of questions about Google's famous dictum, "Don't Be Evil," as well as the state of Internet freedom and censorship in the world's most populous country. Further, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a major speech last week outlining a "fifth freedom" - the freedom to connect in our increasingly wired world. Joining guest host CHRIS SATULLO, WHYY's Director of News and Civic Dialogue, to discuss these developments are The Big Money's CHRIS THOMPSON, who writes the "Feeling Lucky" blog for Slate, which focuses on all things Google; KATIE DOWD, the U.S. State Department's director of new media; and ALAN PALLER, director of research for The SANS Institute and an expert on cyberwarfare and security.
