Google seeks allies against censorship

I'm with them in this one
"As its chief legal officer called for opposition to information trade barriers, Google on Tuesday introduced an online Transparency Report that shows graphs of Google service availability in different countries.

The Transparency Report provides a graph not unlike those used on Google Finance. It displays the flow of data traffic across specific Google services, like Gmail or Google Docs, in a specific countries. …

The debut of the new tool coincides with a renewed push by Google to rally support for treating censorship as a trade barrier.”

It's OK for Google to practise censorship but not countries.
If you don't like the country then don't provide services to them or does that go against the natural greed of making money?
I don't like censorship but Google's complaint seem a bit hollow given what they do to with their services.
