"Google said Tuesday it would launch versions of its search and news Web 
sites in China that censor material deemed objectionable to authorities 
there, reasoning that users getting limited access to content was better 
than none."

"
The France-based human rights group Reporters Without Borders blasted 
Google, saying it was taking an immoral position that could not be 
justified.

"By offering a version without 'subversive' content, Google is making it 
easier for Chinese officials to filter the Internet themselves. A Web 
site not listed by search engines has little chance of being found by 
users," the group said in a statement. "The new Google version means 
that even if a human rights publication is not blocked by local 
firewalls, it has no chance of being read in China."
