About time, I think. Not sure how much it will change, if anything, or what the reaction of governments such as China might be, but it's at least a step in the right direction for Google.

Aye. Cos it's China that has the problem with government spying on its citizens. As opposed to the US or UK where they definitely haven't been caught doing anything like that ever uh-uh. No way Jose. Nothing to see here. Move along.

The article states that them taking this action was directly influenced by the NSA shenanigans last year though. mmm

Your point is taken, but when this sort of thing happens in the USA or UK it causes national uproar and investigations (however half-hearted these investigations may be at times), while in China it's as natural as...pollution.

People cheapen the extent of Chinese surveillance when they compare it to the NSA phone hacking scandals.
