Here are a few good perspectives on Google’s big announcement that it will no longer censor search results for google.cn in China, a move it says could lead to a pull-out from the Middle Kingdom.

I agree with Dignan of Znet that this move was probably less about about China and more about policy and branding in the U.S. and Europe.
UPDATE: Much more detail on the mechanics of the attack from Wired’s Threat Level blog.
