One more jab for Google, this time it's India

A day after Google dropped a bomb by launching an open war against China, India finds it timely to rake a hot issue up—of course not on censorship—and put up a fight with the Internet giant.

Minister of state for communication Sachin Pilot has said that India will protest against Google for showing Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China.

“We have already taken up the matter. India will not stand and watch something like this whether it is Google or any other company. Wrong depiction is not tolerated,” Pilot told a TV channel.

Meanwhile, the Web war between Google and China was just hotting up. Yahoo Inc backed rival Google’s threatened departure from China because of computer attacks that pried into the e-mail accounts of human rights activists. In a statement issued on Wednesday, Yahoo said it’s “aligned” with Google’s reaction to the hacking that originated within China. Google has promised to stop censoring its search results in China, defying the country’s government. The move may result in Google pulling out of China.
China, in response, said it welcomed internet companies provided they obey laws that restrict their content.
