Google agrees to China censorship

By

Online search engine leader Google Inc. has agreed to censor its results in China, adhering to the country’s free-speech restrictions in return for better access in the Internet’s fastest growing market. Go take a look at Google.CN and tell us what you think. Is anyone else excited about the upcoming Chinese New Year? I am!

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company planned to roll out a new version of its search engine bearing China’s Web suffix “.cn,” on Wednesday. A Chinese-language version of Google’s search engine has previously been available through the company’s dot-com address in the United States. By creating a unique address for China, Google hopes to make its search engine more widely available and easier to use in the world’s most populous country.
