Google blocked in China, situation almost entirely resolved

31 March 2010 Redazione FullPress Digital Tools 0

Google’s headquarters, after reporting a malfunction due to technical problems, reversed course, reporting an attempted censorship by the Chinese government.

There was no shortage of back-and-forth yesterday evening: the search engine Google yesterday produced no results, seeing a total blackout of any type of information, not just concerning topics unwelcome to the Chinese government.
A blackout that Google initially attributed to technical malfunctions, given the redirect process undertaken towards the Hong Kong platform, before concluding “They censored us”.
Beijing’s denial is stark: according to China, yesterday’s problems are solely attributable to Google’s technical issues, not censorship.
The climate is that of a cold war, although it seems the situation has been returned to normal: search has resumed functioning, even if difficulties persist on Google Mobile from mobile phones.
However, neither of the protagonists in this affair seems willing to commit, leaving conclusions to the internet and not issuing official statements.

**Facebook and its popularity**
Rewinding the film, here we are today. The *net-economy* recognizes another king that rhymes with “social network.” Even if the rhyme isn’t perfect, its name is very easy to remember: **Facebook**. To think that a *large square* built for people and made popular thanks to the “population” itself could scare the *Mountain View* giant until recently seemed more like a magic trick than a theory. Yet, it happened.

Today **Facebook** represents the real bogeyman for **Google**, and they know it well in California. **Google**, which for years made “silence” its winning weapon (it seemed to hold the *Coca-Cola* recipe), has become more human in recent times. The silences continue, but at more or less regular intervals, a representative occasionally pops up here and there on the Web, between a forum and a blog, between a video and a tweet. Google wants to become more popular, more loved, and above all, more used. Will it still be able to impose its business model tied to the world of advertising in the wake of Wired’s declaration: “the *Web is dead*”? **The near future may give us answers, while the race to *mobile* by various Web players has begun, and Google doesn’t seem to be in “first position” at all.**
