Google China Search Comparison
Written on 16/2/2006 and filed in Projects, Tools.
” On January 25 2006, Google launched Google.cn, a self-censored Chinese-language search service, a policy shift which follows Yahoo! and Microsoft’s recent decisions to provide censored Internet services in compliance with Chinese state censorship policies. Google informs its users when their search results have been filtered (to date, Microsoft and Yahoo!’s Chinese search services do not), and provides users with a link to the unfiltered Google.com home page.
To help understand how the results of Google.com and Google.cn differ, the OpenNet Initiative has assembled a tool that lets you simultaneously compare search results. Enter any search term, or select a sample keyword, and see for yourself the differences between a censored and an open Internet.”
Such comparison reminded me of Langreiter.com (visual) comparison of Google.com & Yahoo.com. Digging that link up revealed that they offer such visual perspective for Google.com and Google.cn.
