Search engines’ blocking in China “improves”  Comments 

Filed under: Our networked world — Sky @ 9:41 am

Looks like the search engines google.cn and yahoo.cn have gotten even more aggressive in terms of blocking access to “unauthorized” or “illegal” sources of information for Chinese-language searchers. Most of the recent attention on the Chinese censorship issue has been focused on Google.cn, but it turns out that Yahoo.cn may be even more in tune with the Chinese party line!

See this report from Reporters Without Borders entitled Yahoo! clear worst offender in censorship tests on search engines.
