At a congressional hearing Wednesday, Google’s deputy counsel, Nicole Wong was quoted as saying: "Internet censorship is a growing global problem that not only raises important human rights concerns, but also creates significant barriers for U.S. companies doing business abroad…"
Google has continually pledged to advance democracy and security on the internet. 25 other countries have been noted as censoring Google. Ms. Wong advised Congress to keep pressure on those countries as well.
Right now, Google in China is censored but Google has vowed to remove itself from the country if that persists. There has been no timetable announced for removal or for uncensored search results to resume. It should all be happening soon.
