Doesn't surprise me Google is back at it. "Don't be Evil" is a Google myth.
At the time Google was censoring Web results, but this was widely known. It was a conscious decision: being in China and censoring was better for the Chinese people than not being there at all.
It was not widely known that Google intended to censor News in China. So I got up at an engineering "all hands" meeting (few hundred people) and complained about what we were going to do. Ironically, I got some applause for this.
