ZT 为了打进中国 Google审查内容

互联网搜索引擎领导品牌Google同意审查在中国提供的部分服务内容，以满足北京政府对言论自由的限制。

Google在中国推出新网址，并希望藉此新网址在中国这个世界最大的互联网市场取得立足之地。

Google表示，在中国审查服务内容是个困难的决定，但是这么做如果能换来进入中国市场，那么它将会变得更有影响力。

批评者警告经过审查服务内容的Google网站，将阻挡中国用户使用数千个搜索关键词和网站。

可能被阻挡的关键词和网站包括有关台独和天安门事件的信息。

Google表示，如果用户因为某些关键词而无法搜索或无法进入某些网站的时候，他们计划在Google网页上显示说明信息告知用户。

中文Google

从2000年起，Google便透过设在美国的网络系统推出中文版本的搜索引擎。

不过由于受到中国政府的控制，在中国的使用者不是无法使用Google的搜索服务，就是上Google的速度变得很慢。

Google希望推出新网址能改变这些问题。

Google在中国新推出的网址不会包括电子邮件、聊天室和博客（部落格）等其他内容，因为Google担心中国政府会要求它提供使用这些服务内容的个人信息。

在Google改版抢进中国之前，Google拒绝了美国司法部要它透露使用者搜索内容的要求。

违背原则

对审查服务内容来换取进入中国市场的做法，Google辩解说，加入中国市场比抵制中国市场来的更为有效。

Google的声明说，"删除搜索结果违背Google的服务宗旨，但是不（向中国使用者）提供信息更加违背Google的服务宗旨。"

无国界记者谴责Google的做法，说Google决定与中国政府携手合作是可耻的。

在两年之内，中国互联网搜索服务使用者人数预计将从目前的1亿人增加到1.87亿人。

去年8月所做的调查显示，总部在北京的中国互联网搜索引擎公司--百度超越了Google。

Google to censor itself in China

(CNN) -- Internet search engine Google has rolled out a China-based version of its popular Web site -- one that bows to Beijing's censorship laws and will edit the content of its results.

Google.cn -- the Chinese language version of the search portal -- debuted Wednesday with the company acknowledging the balancing act it was attempting to perform.

"In order to operate from China, we have removed some content from the search results available on Google.cn, in response to local law, regulation or policy," a Google statement said.

"While removing search results is inconsistent with Google's mission, providing no information (or a heavily degraded user experience that amounts to no information) is more inconsistent with our mission."

Google said it intends to report to users when information is removed from search results. The company says it does the same thing in response to local laws in Germany, France and the United States.

Prior to Wednesday's debut in China, Google operated the Chinese-language version of the search engine through a link on its U.S. Web site, Google.com.

Previously, the Beijing government blocked the results of search requests that violated its regulations. The new Google site will self-censor based on Chinese law.

The Google statement said the tradeoff for going against its basic principle of making the "world's information universally available and accessible" is gaining greater access to a quickly growing Chinese economy.

"As an emerging economic powerhouse, China is developing rapidly, thanks in no small measure to the Internet," Google said. "We firmly believe, with our culture of innovation, Google can make meaningful and positive contributions to the already impressive pace of development in China."

Google's cooperation with the Chinese government comes on the heels of the company's resistance to a U.S. Justice Department subpoena, asking Google to turn over a week's worth of search results.

The request is part of a case designed to protect children from Internet porn.

Google said the government query "overreaches."
