In unrelated news, some fingers have been pointed at Google (again) for supporting Internet accessibility controls in China, by removing or omitting controversial news stories from search results in that country.

State-sponsored Internet providers in China routinely block access to Internet sites deemed inappropriate by the government. These include both Chinese and foreign news sites carrying reports that criticise the Chinese government. Researchers at Dynamic Internet Technology (DIT), a US company that provides technology for circumventing internet restrictions in China, have discovered that the recently-launched Chinese version of Google News omits blocked news sources from its results.

The origin of a computer sending a search request can be identified using its internet protocol (IP) address. Google admits to omitting some news sources within China but says this is meant to improve the quality of the service.
