Adsense, I’m Afraid
May 11th, 2006,Despite my comments earlier regarding Google and its actions supporting censorship in China, I’ve decided to include Google Adsense ads on Northern Letter. A friend whose opinion I respect suggested that doing so was unlikely to affect what I write. He pointed out that Harper’s magazine includes ads from oil companies and regularly criticizes those same companies.
I was convinced enough by his arguments that the ads are now there. Of such compromises life is made. We must beware too much compromise, however.
