By: E&P Staff The journalism watchdog organization Reporters Without Borders today condemned the recent increase in Internet filtering in China, which has made the Google.com search engine inaccessible in most of the country's provinces. The censored Chinese version, Google.cn, remains accessible.
The Google search engine was made totally unaccessible throughout the
country on May 31, and the blocking then gradually extended to Google News and Google Mail, so that users may now only use the censored version of these services.
Authorities reportedly have also been cracking down on jamming software that some users have created to try and get around the censors.
More information can be found at the organization's
Web site.
