Yesterday, Google started redirecting Google.cn users to Google.com.hk<\/a> and displayed uncensored results to all the users. A annoyed user also wrote in how Google had blocked access to Google.com from within China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"RIP <\/p>\n

However, its China’s turn now as some reports are flowing in that the Chinese government has started blocking certain search results in China. Earlier today, ZDNet got a statement<\/a> from a Google executive to confirm the banning of certain search results.<\/p>\n

\n

"Certain terms seem to be being blocked by the firewall," said a Google spokesperson, referring to the ‘Great Firewall of China’, the popular nickname for Golden Shield.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, there were no reports on which specific terms were being banned by the Chinese Government. Popular Google services like YouTube<\/a> and Blogger have suffered a complete ban in China for quite sometime now, and it looks like Google’s web search and image search are headed in the same direction.<\/p>\n

Right now Google’s Mainland China service availability page<\/a> displays full access to Google web search and image search. However, that page has not been updated since March 21st, so expect to see some more red cross-marks appearing on the page soon.<\/p>\n
