I remember when Google moved their Chinese search service to Hong Kong in 2010 to end its censorship of search results. Now it sounds like they are not only working to bring back censored search, but also to link users' queries to their phone number such that the government could more easily track what an individual has searched for. If censorship was wrong in 2010, what makes this OK now?
