Censorship

[hellziggy]

I love my Google searches. But all this talk about the censorship in China? It just makes me wonder how much trust we can put into searches here. How are we gonna know that something has been censored out? How will we know when it's Google lying to us?

Here are the results of two Google image searches. The first is at the US site we usually all use: Tiananmen Square

But if you go to google.cn and do the same search, this is what you get: Tiananmen Square

So, can the Chinese people not navigate to the regular Google pages at all? I mean, when I was living in the UK, I could use either Google.com or Google.co.uk, depending on what I was looking for.

I would guess that the gov't probably blocks sites. I don't know anything for sure, but i would guess that they just can't get to anything ...
