A Perfectly Wrong example (Score 1)

While I am sure there are all kinds of censorships on free speech pages and politics, I don't think this is a valid example for this reason: Tiananmen square is a very famous location in Beijing, whereas people foreign to china have probably only heard of tiananmen square from the protest back in the 80s. So obviously a search on google china would turn up results of pictures of tiananmen square, whereas a search on google USA would turn up images of the protest. For example, a search for "World trade Centers" in google USA would probably give mostly images of the world trade centers, and not images of the 9/11 attacks. Another reason would be that many people in china simply dont know about the event, because they never talk about it. Naturally, there wouldnt be many images of the protest. So yes, it is still an example of censorship, but not exactly specific to the google search engine. my point is that this may just be a problem of context, and doesnt really indicate censorship from google. Maybe a link to a politics site would give more of a indication. i just went and searched ""(Tiananmen square incident, in chinese) on google china and it gave me tons of results for pictures and articles of the protest, much more in depth than google USA actually. Also, all chinese sites referring to the tiananmen square incident will be talking about it in CHINESE, OBVIOUSLY. and the only people that are going to write Tiananmen and spell it wrong, are most likely foreigners, which are far more likely to be talking about the incident, instead of tiananmen as a LOCATION.
