  • Google's evil China censorship...

    Submitted without comment (for now)...

    images.google.com query for "tiananmen"
    images.google.censored query for "tiananmen"

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          They just restrict results to .cn domains. also google hasn't quite got all the kinks worked out yet, try http://images.google.cn/images?q=tianenmen

            Using images.google.cn from Whoha's link indeed shows the famous Tianenmen picture as fourth in the first row.

            Maybe it only filters them for IPs based in China?

            Or are we seing a failure of DanS' point here

              As I understand it, Whoha's query is a misspelling.

                There's already an older thread on it, Dan.
