That this House notes with concern Google's announcement that its corporate infrastructure was attacked from sources originating in China; further notes that the primary reason for the attempted hack was to target private email accounts of human rights activists; congratulates Google on the decision to end its policy of censoring search results in China; and further believes that other technology companies should follow Google's lead by refusing to collaborate with demands to censor their activities.
