 Send to email | Sergey Brin, Reluctant Voter (GOOG) in General |  By Silicon

Sergey Brin: Paste this image in your site, Myspace, Facebook, Ebay copy this code...
 Sergey Brin is against censorship and human rights violations. Just don't ask him to vote on it.
At Google's annual meeting Thursday, the company's board recommended voting against two shareholder proposals: One that would require Google to work against censorship in countries like China, and another that would require the company to work for human rights in those same countries. But Sergey himself abstained from voting on either of the motions. When asked about his non-vote later during a Q/A session, he said:
'I think directionally the two proposals were correct, but I don't know if I should believe that it should be a shareholder proposal . But I think it makes sense to have a separate, a group of independent people in Google who meet regularly to discuss (these issues).'
All reasonable points -- we don't actually expect Google to solve knotty problems like the ones China presents all by itself. But if you don't think the proposals, as written, made sense, why not vote against them? That seems easier.

| The Omnigoogle | | ?Some say Google is God,? Sergey Brin once said. ?Others say Google is Satan.? The confusion about Google?s identity may not be quite that Manichean, but it does run deep. The company, which today celebrates the tenth anniversary of its incorporation, remains an enigma despite the Everest-sized pile of press coverage that has been mounded around it. People can?t even agree what industry it?s in. T [..] Read complete article | | Published 07-Sep-2008 by Rough Ty in General
