What you get when you type "Huge Pussy" in Chinese Google
By Bernie on 26 Jan 2006:
Certainly not what I expected.
To try it yourself, type in Google.cn in your browser address and search for whatever. Search for "Porn" and get 24,300,000 links, do it in the US edition and you get 109,000,000 links. Likewise "Chinese Torture" yields 2,420,000 links, while the US edition is 13,200,000 links.
On the other hand, innocuous sounding "Boiling Eggs" gets you 28,500 entries in China but 56,200 here. Unless the Chinese Government does nasty, evil things to your eggs, it is a bit mysterious why there would be half as many entries in China for this. However much I may dislike what Google is doing in China, I am completely impressed with the filtering method they have used to cull 4.5 billion pages off the Chinese search.
CNET News.com discovered "Google's new China search engine not only censors many Web sites that question the Chinese government, but it goes further than similar services from Microsoft and Yahoo by targeting teen pregnancy, homosexuality, dating, beer and jokes.
In addition, CNET News.com has found that contrary to Google co-founder Sergey Brin's promise to inform users when their search results are censored, the company frequently filters out sites without revealing it. "
