Google & China
17 January 2010, 8:28am
As I'm sure most of you have heard, Google recently announced on its blog that it would no longer censor search results in China, going very much against the Chinese government's request (and demands). They have also admitted that this may mean closing their Chinese office.
I was planning on writing more about this, and possibly will soon, but instead, I am merely posting images of the difference between a censored result for "tiananmen" at google.cn, and an uncensored result at google.com. [Note that for the google.cn I used the chinese 天安门. This is only to avoid having a section at the top asking if I spelled it wrong. If you want to see the result, let me know.]

I just noticed that google.cn is censored regardless of your location (in or out of China). So you should all be able to see this yourselves at google.com or google.cn
