The Copenhagen press reported that the Chinese government has systematically censorsed access to the Danish search engine, Jubii. This is in no small measure due to the fact this engine provides access to sites banned by the Chinese government, including Amnesty International and the Falun Gong spiritual movement. Note: I was not familiar with Falun Gong, but on December 11, 2002 I watched an episode of Law & Order that focused on the Chinese government’s alleged persecution of members of this group.
For related information, this commentary from ZDNet, How the U.S. can stop Internet censorship, addresses various software applications to counter state sponsored blocking of website content in the U.S. (via software filters in public libraries) and by countries such as China, North Korea and Vietnam, to name just a few.
