Google stops censorship in China?
Websites dealing with subjects such as the Tiananmen Square democracy protests, Tibet and regional independence movements can now all be accessed through Google's Chinese search engine, after the company said it would no longer abide by Beijing's censorship rules. Despite Google's own insistence that its policies had not changed, people in Beijing found that it was not necessarily the case. The first phrase typed into Google.cn was "Xinjiang independence," and the top result was a Wikipedia entry about the East Turkestan independence movement. "Tiananmen Square massacre" was typed in, producing a long list of results appeared, detailing the military crackdown on protesters on 4 June 1989. The famous picture of a lone man blocking a line of tanks was among them.
