Google Helping to Circumvent the Great Firewall
Categories: China
As you've all undoubtedly heard by now, Google has decided to (someday) to stop filtering search results for sensitive content in China. They're apparently trying to help people in China circumvent the firewall through the ads they show too. As you can see below, there's an ad in the China Daily for a VPN (virtual private network -- a way to "tunnel" your internet connection out of China through another country). Even better, the ad was shown on an article about this spat between Google and the Chinese gov't (which the Chinese gov't doesn't seem to care too much about.)
Coincidence?
