Update - Google Stops Censoring

Surprisingly, Google has followed through with its threat to stop self-censorship in China - in violation of a written agreement (though not contractual) it had with the Chinese government.

This does not mean that internet users in China will suddenly gain unrestricted access but rather than the burden now falls on the Chinese state to censor searches.

The ball is most certainly in China's court and it will be interesting to see how it reacts to this move from the internet giant...
