Shanghai, China, Aug 29 (efe-epa).- A group of leading human rights organizations urged Google in an open letter, dated Tuesday, to cancel plans to provide censored search engine services in China.
The letter, signed by more than a dozen rights groups, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Reporters Without Borders, was addressed to CEO Sundar Pichai, and asked the company to explain its position on censorship in China and how it plans to “safeguard users from the Chinese government’s abusive censorship and surveillance regimes.”
“Google has promised to respect human rights and only develop technology that benefits society, yet Google has failed to explain how it will shield users from the Chinese government’s efforts to monitor and suppress dissent,” Cynthia Wong, senior internet researcher at HRW said.
Google and its services such as Gmail and Google Maps have been blocked since 2010 in China, a country that boasts of the largest number of internet users in the world.
Google had abruptly ceased most of its operations following disagreements with the government on censorship of search results.
