Google moving search records out of China

From the article

In an effort to protect users of its Google.cn Web site, Google Inc.
is moving search records out of China and into the U.S., a company
executive said this week.

Google.cn is a version of its search engine that is hosted in China
and adheres to Chinese censorship laws. It was launched in January.

The Mountain View, Calif., company has decided to store search records
from the site outside of China in order to prevent that government
from being able to access the data without Google’s consent, said
Peter Norvig, Google’s director of research, speaking Monday at a
panel discussion at Santa Clara University.
