Tech Buzz Nicole Wong is like Google's Secretary-of-State. She negotiates on Google's behalf with repressive governments that want to limit free speech. This is a real problem: Turkey banned YouTube, Saudi Arabia banned Orkut, and blogger is banned in Pakistan. Nicole Wong cuts the deals that gets these services running again. For example Ms. Wong managed to get YouTube unblocked in Thailand by agreeing to remove videos that make fun of the Thai King. You can read all about Nicole Wong, the global internet, and censorship in a great piece New York Times magazine piece coming out this weekend. Update: Here is the NYT Google's Gatekeeper's piece.
