well of course people prefer google.com. you can get porn on google.com but not on google.cn right?

[mahathir_fan]

If you do a google.CN image search for 'sex' you get only softcore stuff.

If you do a google.COM image search for 'sex' you get real GOOOD stuff.

So that explains why people still prefer google.com over google.cn

Google needs to readjust their google.cn to show more 'porns' if they want more chinese users to use google.cn - that is basically the bottomline. By catering to Chinese authorities, they basically remove porns from their search engines and lose their audiences. They need to put back the porn back into their search engines.
