Censorship in China and Discount Cards

-Google and Yahoo I dont believe can control what they censor and not censor in China. Their laws are different form ours here in the U.S. The chinese goverment doesnt want things shown there that we see, because of the exposure to most things that happen. In readings in the past few months I have read that there was a hacking in the US tech companies and cannot censor searches in China. I am not sold on this but it could be the reason or who knows, maybe it is a money issue.

-I am a huge fan of the grocery loyalty cards. I have one for every supermarket I go to. As a college student, I need all the discounts I can get. To get the card they ask for your name, phone number or just your drivers license. I never really pay it any mind that they are taking my information and putting it in a computer. I dont have a big problem with it because of privacy policies that the stores have. I know that my info will not be used or given away. The way money is right now, I dont mind a little of personal information for a discount.
