Game Over For Google In China?
Google’s term as a search provider in China may at last be coming to an end.? Reports from all over the country indicate that would-be users are only getting error messages when they conduct searches, even if their queries cover completely bland and innocent terms. Aaron Back , who’s based in Beijing, wrote earlier, “Internet users reported new disruptions to Google Inc. Internet search services in China on Tuesday afternoon, with many saying they are unable to search for any term on the Google site.”? Test words included “happy” and “the,” not just things like “Tiananmen Square massacre.” This could be the result of a mistake; a number of Chinese Twitter users have suggested that the problem’s been caused by an automated program noticing the letters “RFA” (as in Radio Free Asia) in results pages’ URLs.
