China is at it again. They have disabled part of the Google search engine that they claim displays "pornographic and vulgar content", according to the New York Times:
On Friday evening, it appeared that the associative-word feature of the Web site had been disabled. That is the function that displays a drop-down menu of words related to a search word that is typed into the search engine.
I'm not clear on whether Google disabled it themselves voluntarily or if China disabled it by force in some way.
