LONDON: British foreign minister Jeremy Hunt accused Google on Aug 30 of abandoning its moral values by failing to remove child abuse content while launching a version of its search engine in China that will block some websites. 

The government has repeatedly criticised online platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook for failing to remove abusive material or sexual content posted online even after they were notified.
