    Google is one of the search engines available for Internet surfers. Two computer science graduates from Stanford started Google in 1995. Larry Page and Sergey Brin began a search engine called back rub, which is Google. The two computer science graduates began in the garage of a California home. The company ran business from this garage on a server from University of Stanford. After a short time, Google became lucrative and moved from the garage to an office building (Google History, 2011). The products and services provided by Google exceed other search engines.…

    Net Neutrality

    Some material over Google has been restricted in some countries such as Turkey, Germany, France and Poland and also Thailand for political and historical reasons. Some content of Google has been censored in China. As China is a communist country, the government of China does not want the citizens to have abundant access of various websites. They have a censoring policy for search results or the hosted content, like videos, for the citizens where the content and material is illegal. The censoring policy in China is better for the citizens because the role of the government for any country is to look for betterment of their citizens by censoring the sites the Chinese government is protecting the citizens from getting into any sort of illegal activities or…

    Self Censorship In China

    China is a prime example of internet censorship as their censorship laws are especially strict on political groups against the People's Republic of China. The internet is a place for people to find other like-minded people so China targets the internet with its law extensively. For example, when China finally went after Google for giving Chinese citizens access to content the government wanted restricted, Google complied and had to create a separate Chinese version. As mentioned above, Google was self-censoring themselves by disallowing search results and therefore lessening traffic to those websites. Up until May of 2009 all business was well between Google and China. In May of 2009, Chinese censors blocked YouTube, which is owned by Google. It was blocked because a user had uploaded a video of Chinese police brutality and was quickly being shared around the internet. Google suffered majorly because of China wanting to omit this information from its citizens. Google was tired of having to deal with the special version of Google designed specifically for the overbearing laws of the Chinese government, and in January of 2010 they let search results bypass the barrier of the filter. China immediately responded and blocked all of Google. Trying to mend the wounds of what happened just two years ago, in May of 2012, Google announced it would…

    Censorship in China

    Internet use in China is very restricted. As of 2010, all Internet users are required to register online with their real names before posting anything in a chat room or on a social networking site. Another example of the Internet troubles in China is the “China-Google” story. Google entered the Chinese market in 2006, on the condition that Google would agree to censor all of the search results according to the Chinese government. An example of this censorship is searching “Tiananmen Square Massacre” in China will return no results. It is as if it never happened. But, in summer of 2010, Google’s relationship with China came to a screeching halt when, after being hacked from China-based hackers, Google decided to no longer censor any of the search results. Currently, Google has withdrawn from China and directs all Chinese web users to the Hong Kong Google site, which is not filtered. To combat this, China created its own Internet search Engine, called Baidu. This search engine does censor results.…

    Google in China: Market Entry Analysis

    When business transactions take place across international borders, they carry additional risks not present in domestic transactions. Foreign Direct Investment is the most risk bearing way of entering into a market. A foreign direct investment entails sole responsibility to the proprietor. From a political and economic standpoint, the CCP, Chinese Communist Party, has been known as an autocratic party that has imposed strict control over the country (Lawrence & Weber, 2010, p 470). Within the past thirty years, the CCP allowed for the free flow of money while maintaining a tight control of all institutions. With the imposing regulations of the censorship regime by the CCP, Google will be…

    Internet Filtering

    The Chinese government uses many different forms of blocking protocol including DNS redirection, keyword filtering, web server IP address, and DNS server IP address. The websites themselves such as www.yahoo.com, www.altavista.com, and www.google.com where asked by the government to impose certain regulations with their search engines to aide in filtering out banned content. Some arguments say that these companies themselves should not have to pre-filter out their sites. That it is taking a biased view when agreeing to this kind of stance in helping out a communist country. But others simple state that it only helps in the long wrong and the money is probably nice too. Google is one of the few companies that have severed their ties with china and moved stopped self-censoring its search engine. Google stated that the reason for severing its ties happened when an internet hack occurred that originated for china. The PRC also blocks social network and notable news sites in order to keep only what they want in their country allowed.…

    Advantages that Google has over Baidu in the Chinese market include the public having access to un-censored search terms, Google’s AdWords and AdSense technology, and its partnership with China Mobile. Google also offers attractive applications such as “Picasa Web Album, Google Docs, Google Talk, Google Calendar and Google Checkout” (Yin & Yulin, 2010, p. 2). Some of Google’s services include “Google Earth, Google Hot List, Q&A and a free legal music download service” (Yin & Yulin, 2010, p. 3). In comparison with Baidu, Google does have some disadvantages which include its suspended “ability to search through foreign websites and its associative-word search function”, its criticism from Chinese Regulators and bad publicity from Chinese writers accusing the company of copyright infringement (Yin & Yulin, 2010, p. 3).…
