Porn results in China clean up Google.cn
BEIJING, June 20 (Xinhua) — Searching engine giant Google Inc. said Saturday that it would take all necessary steps to clean up pornographic searching results in its Chinese-language portal, Google.cn.
“We are undertaking a thorough review of our service and taking all necessary steps to fix any problems with our results,” a statement from Google’s headquarters in Silicon Valley in the United States said.
The statement given by John Pinette, communications director of Asian-Pacific Region, confirmed that the company’s representative in China had met with government officials to discuss problems with the Google.cn service and its serving of pornographic images and content based on foreign language searches.
The statement came after the Chinese authorities criticized some of the search results served up by Google violated the country’s Internet regulations and laws.
