According to a Google blog post today, Google has stopped censoring its search services on google.cn (China). Users visiting google.cn will be redirected to google.com.hk , the Hong Kong Google site. google.com.hk is uncensored. and Google has made good on its threat to stop providing censored content in China.

This is what Google had to say regarding this difficult decision: “Figuring out how to make good on our promise to stop censoring search on Google.cn has been hard. We want as many people in the world as possible to have access to our services, including users in mainland China, yet the Chinese government has been crystal clear throughout our discussions that self-censorship is a non-negotiable legal requirement. We believe this new approach of providing uncensored search in simplified Chinese from Google.com.hk is a sensible solution to the challenges we’ve faced—it’s entirely legal and will meaningfully increase access to information for people in China.”
