Chinese Google Censorship
The Chinese Government asked Google to sensor some of the search results so it could prevent the Chinese citizens from looking up pornography or other contents that the government wants to be censored. The issues here is the censorship of information that might harm the reputation or demonstrate the corruption of the country. This is in a way altering the truth of what actually happened and deceiving the people into believing what is a lie to others. Whilst a government exists for its people, this is more like an example of a government that controls its people.
The video argues that Google lied about censoring the Internet in China and how this affects the internet use of the user negatively. The integrity of the information is violated as well as the trust for a big corporation as Google will be demolished.

It seem that Google did not censor any explicit material in the Net. This has caused China to disbelief on what Google has done. China shows the possibilities to its citizens what is right and wrong. For example, if a young kid is searching or watching an explicit material, it may have caused to the kid of the wrong side of life. I think censoring explicit material helps us to concentrate on what we need to do in our lives.
