The Chinese government’s campaign against Google continues with a fresh crackdown on the search giant.
It seems that access to Google.com and Gmail, Google’s web-based email service, could not be accessed through proxy servers, indicating that the websites had been centrally blocked.
In Beijing, there are reports of patchy access, but access appears to have been largely reinstated, though other areas of China remain in a Google blackout.
The move is part of an ongoing campaign by the Chinese government, which last week started to block access to Google after accusing the search engine of displaying links to “pornographic” websites among its search results, according to Xinhua, China’s official news agency.

There is something seriously strange with Google in China. It never used to do it here, just since I returned here recently. When searching for normal subjects, it always throws some porn results every time. I think Google are up to something, so to avoid looking paranoid the Chinese gov are just telling google to stop porn appearing in results.
