In a very odd turn of events… a leading Chinese paper is now blaming Google for censoring their content!

Oh.. how the tables have turned?!

For as long as most of us can remember, it’s been the other way around with China normally requesting Google to censor or limit accessibility to pornographic sites or content related to the Tiananmen Square ‘incident’.

I find it ironic now, that the ‘People’s Daily’ is now complaining that Google was censoring their content… and pointing out that Baidu wasn’t. The content in question is related to Google’s controversial Book deal… and the implication is that Google is not indexing and presenting the negative view that the People’s Daily has about that deal.

We don’t have enough information to go into the detail of who was right or wrong, but will monitor the progress and update in due course.
