Definitions of moral on the Web:

* relating to principles of right and wrong; i.e. to morals or ethics; "moral philosophy"
* concerned with principles of right and wrong or conforming to standards of behavior and character based on those principles; "moral sense"; "a moral scrutiny"; "a moral lesson"; "a moral quandary"; "moral convictions"; "a moral life"
* ethical: adhering to ethical and moral principles; "it seems ethical and right"; "followed the only honorable course of action"; "had the moral courage to stand alone"
* arising from the sense of right and wrong; "a moral obligation"
the significance of a story or event; "the moral of the story is to love thy neighbor"
* psychological rather than physical or tangible in effect; "a moral victory"; "moral support" Just because it is in a country's laws does not make one's rule moral, or ethical. Rarely does the commercial world care about morality within its business, for mostly they would lose money; which nobody really wants.
Censorship in any form is immoral, by being an accomplice (adhering to the rule) Google is guilty of an immoral decision, and tarnishing the true spirit of the internet community. Which isn't to mean that I do not understand its decision, or even utterly disagree with it. Still... how would/do you react to censorship within your own countries... anger, annoyance, outrage?
Or do you simply say, oh well, it IS the law, so it must be obeyed...
