google censor
Recently google has anounced it’ll cooperate with the Chinese government to censor it’s search results, e.g. for the dalai lama, free tibet, etc.
some examples:
- google images returns different results if you are based in china or in an oncensored part of the world.
- video made by the Free Tibet people in New York, showing how google.cn shows the results
Time to take action: http://noluv4google.com/ is an initiative which wants to boycot google this valentine’s day.
Thanks gmc, richard for the links. I’d like to write more on this subject but my head is to muddled by snot. Maybe if i get better i’ll elaborate. In the mean time you can at least follow the links.
Update: To help understand how the results of Google.com and Google.cn differ, the OpenNet Initiative has assembled a tool that lets you simultaneously compare search results. Enter any search term, or select a sample keyword, and see for yourself the differences between a censored and an open Internet.� Tnx Auke
