Backing away from its earlier stance, the White House has now officially endorsedGoogle’s position to no longer censor according to China’s whims.

Here’s White House spokesman Robert Gibbs today, per MarketWatch:

“We support [Google's] action…in a decision to no longer censor searches that happen using the [Google] platform,” Gibbs told reporters. He added that “our concern is with actions that threaten the universal rights of a free Internet.”

(The GoogleGazer promised Craig Keefner that he’d stay away from “politics” on is blog; accordingly, expect the GoogleGazer to throtle back comments that might be viewed that way. Hat tip to Craig, whose fine blog is available here).
