The Google Help Center used to have the following question/answer as part of its FAQ:
Does Google censor search results?
Google does not censor results for any search term. The order and content of our results are completely automated; we do not manipulate our search results by hand. We believe strongly in allowing the democracy of the web to determine the inclusion and ranking of sites in our search results. To learn more about Google’s search technology, please visit

Now, however, since Google agreed to modify their search results so that they could gain access to China’s market place they’ve taken the above statement down.
