Google takes a new approach to China(!)

Wow.

In response to cyber attacks on the Gmail accounts of Chinese civil rights advocates, Google is no longer going to offer censored search in China and therefore will probably shut down google.cn entirely. I'm surprised that even Google would do this.

Update:

Triple wow. An official slap in the face to the Chinese government. (If the link is not working when you read this, it was a google.cn/images search for "tianamen square", which previously had all of the tank pictures taken out.)

Update:
It's officially a thing.
