    <title>Google Reiterates Support For Uncensored Results In China</title>
    <link>http://www.sponsorworks.net/public_blog/index.cgi/2010/03/03#auto___google_reiterates_support_for_uncensored_results_in_china</link>
    <description>When Google made its dramatic &amp;quot;new approach to China&amp;quot; announcement in January, it sounded as if the company might leave the country within the month.&amp;nbsp; Obviously, that didn't happen.&amp;nbsp; But according to testimony given today before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law, Google hasn't forgotten its ultimatum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Nicole Wong&quot; src=&quot;http://images.ientrymail.com/webpronews/article_pics/NicoleWong.jpg&quot; /&gt;Nicole Wong, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, spoke today about China, the Internet, and censorship, and by way of recap, said, &amp;quot;The attack on our corporate infrastructure and the surveillance it uncovered - as well as attempts over the past year to limit free speech on the Web even further - led us to conclude that we are no longer willing to censor our results in China and we are currently reviewing our options.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wong then argued, &amp;quot;This decision is in keeping with out pledge when we launched Google.cn that we will carefully monitor conditions in China, including new laws and other restrictions on our services.&amp;nbsp; As we stated then, if we determine that we are unable to achieve our objectives, we will not hesitate to reconsider our approach to China.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This should provide some reassurance to free speech advocates who feared Google was backing down from a fight (and/or trying not to abandon a potential profit center).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, Wong didn't provide any sort of timetable with regards to when Google will reach a decision, which seems to leave the figurative door open to weeks or months of waffling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more &lt;a class=&quot;sw_sl&quot; href=&quot;http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WebpronewsTopNewsRssFeed/~3/jiRl_t930M8/google-reiterates-unwillingness-to-censor-results-in-china&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--ttag:online marketing--&gt;</description>
