Does Google Censor Chinese News?

mOoZik writes "A story carried by New Scientist suggests that Google might be playing into the hands of the Chinese government by blocking certain news stories which may be deeded inappropriate. Some users recently reported that Google's Chinese news search returned different results depending when they searched using a computer based outside of China. The claims were substantiated by researchers who connected to computers inside the country. Read on and decide for yourself."

This isn't really accurate, as an act of violence isn't a war, it's a crime (but you may be confused from all the "war on a word" ideas that have been floating around for the last couple decades). However, by this logic you could say that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia -- and all countries that harboured bin Laden, and possibly the 9/11 hijackers -- were also complicit.

You argue like Clinton used to, parsing language and billowing fog until the main point is forgotten. Happily GDub is more direct.
