Google said it is "reviewing the feasibility of our business operations in China" and may back out of China entirely and un-filter results! As it disclosed it had been hit with major cyberattacks it believes to have originated from China…
From the Google Blog:
“ These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered–combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the web–have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China. We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China. “ GoogleBlog
In a post, Google believed the attackers were aiming to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese human-rights activists but that only two Gmail accounts appeared to have been accessed.
