Google.cn Has Already Lifted Censorship

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the good-luck-great-firewall dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In an update to Google's withdrawal from China, there are reports that censorship has already been lifted. It's probably taken a while to report because of Google's ranking system." Just a warning that the language on that blog post is NSFW but it does provide evidence.

    That's how the Great Firewall tells you that something is "inappropriate." search.cn.yahoo.com is located in China, and the GFW is applied to all Internet traffic passing in/out of China, not just consumer machines, so it's not Yahoo that's blocking that particular term but the government.

    This will work with any Mainland Chinese site, for example: http://www.mps.gov.cn/Falun%20Gong
