— AP reports: “Google’s attempted detour around China’s Internet censorship rules was met with countermeasures Tuesday by the communist government, which blocked people on the mainland from seeing search results dealing with such forbidden topics as the pro-democracy movement.”
— “On Tuesday, a search request from within mainland China about the 1989 Tiananmen democracy protests returned a notice that the ‘page cannot be displayed.’ It also caused the Web browser to disconnect for several seconds. Under the old google.cn, a similar query usually returned a list of sanitized sites about Tiananmen Square.”
