Google Settles in China
Google has decided to compromize and give in to China’s authorities demands in order to start Google China. This decision comes only a week after refusing to release personal search information to US authorities.
As part of the reported decision, Google agreed to censor certain terms from appearing in the results, action which has been taken care of remotely by the Chinese authorities so far, but beginning today, no more. It will be done in house.
Among the words, reported to be censored, are (warning as some readers may find these words offensive):
Bitch, shit, falun, sex, tianwang, cdjp, av, bignews, boxun, chinaliberal, chinamz, chinesenewsnet, cnd, creaders, dafa, dajiyuan, dfdz, dpp, falu, falundafa, flg, freechina, freedom, freenet, fuck, GCD, gcd, hongzhi, hrichina, huanet, hypermart, incest, jiangdongriji, lihongzhi, making, minghui, minghuinews, nacb, naive, nmis, paper, peacehall, playboy, renminbao, renmingbao, rfa, safeweb, simple, svdc, taip, tibetalk, triangle, triangleboy, UltraSurf, unixbox, ustibet, voa, voachinese, wangce, wstaiji, xinsheng, yuming, zhengjian, zhengjianwang, zhenshanren, zhuanfalun.
I must add that Yahoo and MSN have been serving China for years now, while putting up with the same demands.
