Google Censorship Not Perfect

Censorship in action. Compare: google.com Image search for Tiananmen (22,100 hits), and google.cn image search for Tiananmen (413 hits). And I don’t see any of Google’s promised “some stuff has been censored from this search” notifications.

But it’s not quite perfect: see page 5 of the results (although the host concerned has already been taken down).

  1. I don’t see any of Google’s promised “some stuff has been censored from this search” notifications.

    Me neither, but I can’t read Mandarin.

  2. At the bottom of the search you linked:

    据当地法律法规和政策,部分搜索结果未予显示。

    Which (computer-translated) is:

    According to the local law laws and regulations and the policy, partially searches the result does not demonstrate.
