Now, the fallout following Google's announcement that it is no longer willing to censor search results on its Chinese service and that it may exit China is continuing.

As we reported yesterday, the world's leading search engine said the decision followed a cyber attack it believes was aimed at gathering information on Chinese human rights activists.

The move follows a clampdown on the internet in China over the last year, which has seen sites and social networking services hosted overseas blocked – including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube – and the closure of many sites at home.

Chinese authorities criticised Google for supplying "vulgar" content in results. Google acknowledged that the decision "may well mean" the closure of Google.cn and its offices in China. Google has only a third of the search-engine market in China, which is dominated by the Chinese giant Baidu.

Although its revenues have continued to rise, many analysts believed it was finding business hard going. Let's cross to Emma in the newsroom now for the latest on what China's Internet users have been saying about all this.
