Last year in May 2012, Google added a warning message to
its search services in order to counter the "Great Firewall of China"-a collection of Chinese government to monitor and filter the country's internet. This warning message provoked the Chinese authorities to make a new way to censor the search engine which was reported as counter productive by the Google staff but it was supported by the campaigners of freedom of speech.

This warning message provoked the Chinese authorities to make a new way to censor the search engine which was reported as counter productive by the Google staff but it was supported by the campaigners of freedom of speech.
The warning was given for the search of some sensitive keywords that might interrupt their connection to its services. According to the free speech campaigners "Google" has given up the fight against censorship.
As a result, China was ranked 11th amongst the countries with worst "Freedom on the Internet" which is a global assessment of Internet and Digital Media.
