Google to Help China Censor Searches

Well, so much for "Don't be evil."

A Reuters newswire article, via CNN/Money, reports that:

Internet search giant Google Inc. will block politically sensitive terms on its new China site, bowing to conditions set by Beijing in return for access to the world's No. 2 Internet market.

The voluntary concessions laid out Tuesday by Google, which is launching a China-based search site as it officially enters the market, would parallel similar self-censorship already practiced there by most multinationals and domestic players.
