Google's Stands-Up Against China's Censorship

Google stopped its censoring of China's search results.
The Google.cn service is directing its Chinese users to
Hong Kong where they can enjoy an uncensored service.

"We want as many people in the world as possible to have
access to our services, including users in mainland China,
but the Chinese government has been crystal clear throughout
discussions that self-censorship is a non-negotiable legal
requirement," said Senior Vice President David Drummond,
Google's chief legal officer.

It is Google's wish that China's people have more access
to knowledge, information, Drummond mentioned.

Google's plan is to keep an eye on the site to make sure
mainland China is having full access.

Google set-up a launch page listing its
services in China- to be updated frequently.

Google is done with the filters that the Chinese
government slammed on certain searches prior to
permitting Google to do business.

The world watched as Google set-up shop, and other
countries like Iran will tailor Google to its
government's bidding if a stand isn't taken-
it's reported.

Google is done with the filters that the Chinese
government put on certain searches prior to
permitting Google to do business.

A survey found that 14 percent of Chinese users
prefer Google.

Onlookers and spectators suggest that the Chinese
government will continue its censorship.
