There is no point... they have Baidu and other versions for themselves... why have google that’s just completely censored...

I was living out there recently and some younger generation have VPNs (I needed one to get on anything familiar) but they only really use it for Instagram it seemed. The internet is so censored out there it’s really crazy, I was quite surprised. But it is what it is I guess... 

I would probably encourage more people have have vpns just to be able to open their mind a bit with research

The LOVE of money not money itself, is the root of all evil.   It sounds like Google has embraced its love for evil.   When you dance with wickedness you change rather than the evil wicked partner for whom you dance. Google has chosen it's partner.  Thanks @krnel

> This search engine will "blacklist websites and search terms about human rights, democracy, religion and peaceful protests"

It is a total shame that google is willing to create a tool knowing it will be used to keep people ignorant about important subjects such as those. 

Seems like this company only cares about helping governments abuse people's freedom (china) and privacy (usa).

Thanks for the article mate, I wasn't aware of these events.

I use brave now instead of google. I'm boycotting FANG

lol google is begging for a share lol sweet

I wouldn't expect any less from google. Plus, I am sure that they are just practicing so they can quietly implement the same type of censorship here.

These free speech issues are getting worse and few seem to notice. It worries me a bit.

I don't understand Goole .china's cyber is too much limited as they don't let people to use Instagram facebook etc

I still find it ironic that a company who had the motto, "don't be evil" for such a long time has been known to be engaged in anti-consumerist, anti-competitive and government lobbyist behaviour for a very long time.

Google removed the motto because they've become so big they don't have to be ethical or appease to the do-gooders anymore. Nobody else is on the same level, Google is the bank of Internet based companies. They're in bed with governments, heavily lobby lawmakers for their own benefit and worse of all, seem to be hellbent on pursuing artificial intelligence even though many warn against it.

The thing with China is their economy is so big and powerful, many companies are willing to look the other way and ignore the human rights abuses if it means getting a chance to capture even a single digit percentage of the China market because that would still be a lot bigger than other countries like Australia.

Make no mistake Google and Amazon are both going to destroy mankind. Both are in bed with governments and all for the sake of making a few billion in profit, but at what cost?

Goolag appears to be showing it's true colors.

Sadly.

Thanks!

### Google now is an instrument of communism and it makes my heart ache. So they just are blinded by monetary gains, they also had become a monster in that regard. I hope they die before me. Commie ass lickers.

In other words, they are transferring their American model to China.

@krnel, Nowadays in my opinion **YouTube** is dominating content creators and there were some cases to hear where channels are banned without any reason.

And this is not the right behaviour and this is against our **Freedom** for sure, and unfortunate thing is, nowadays people are easily misleaded, and before what they found wrong now they supporting it.

Nowadays the process of **Manipulation** and **Deceiving** is increased but, in my opinion the tools are reflected in a way that people are thinking this is right but in reality that's not the right aspect at all.

And if we will not wake up from this false times then in future it will going to completely overtake our freedom and at the end of the day we will going to be made **Slave**.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

China is the Whore of Babylon or Babylon the Great from the Bible....Everybody knows it...I know it, Trump knows it......We will have to fight them

Pfff I don't get it. Where is it leading us? It seems the capitalism comply with whatever country with good economy says. 
At the end as Zizek has stated, the future of the world will be in the hands of capitalism with the Asian values, having all the economic aspects of the current system but with dictators.

At the end of the day, companies like Google still value their businesses in China. It is not difficult to understand why they do this given how big the Chinese market is. There are other search engines, e.g. DuckDuckGo, that can be used to circumvent these censorship. However, there is still the Great Firewall to deal with. What the people of China truly need, is an internet connection protocol which is resistant to censorship. Therefore, I believe decentralizing the internet is the way to go for them. Solutions like [Substratum](https://substratum.net/), [Skycoin](https://www.skycoin.net/) and [MaidSafe](https://maidsafe.net/) might take off in China because of their Great Firewall and other censorship.
