However, this obstacle may be ending, and the tech giant Google may be preparing a censored version of its search engine for China. For some time now, the relationship between China and the tech giant Google is not going through the best of times. With ups and downs, several attempts have been made by the tech giant Google to introduce its services in the Asian country, always bumping into the various demands of the government. However, it seems as we told that the tech giant Google may be developing a special version of its search engine for the Chinese government. According to the latest rumors, whenever a search on a smartphone is made, the contact number will be saved and associated with the search. The tech giant Google’s search engine is the most widely used globally, but it’s not available everywhere. For 8 years, the American brand, of course, the tech giant Google has been away from this market, not accepting the requirements imposed by the Chinese government. However, a lot of information has pointed to a secret internal project called “Dragonfly” where the tech giant Google would be working with the Chinese government to develop a special limited version of the famous search engine. Although it is a gateway to a market of 800 million users, the truth is that many workers of the American company, of course, the tech giant Google have challenged this project, thinking that this is not the most ethical way that the tech giant Google should follow.
According to what has been advanced, this new version of the search engine will be available for Android and will have a blacklist of search terms, such as “human rights“, “student protest” or “Nobel Prize” and all terms or themes not allowed by the Chinese government. In addition, information from the first trial version of this application indicates that each search will also register the mobile phone number, in order to identify who is researching the themes or the terms. Everything also points to the operations of “DragonFly” are owned by the tech giant Google and another company based in China, but little known. This company would have the responsibility to add or remove terms from the blacklist, predicting that the tech giant Google would lose control of this functionality. In addition, it is also advanced that the meteorological data can also be altered in order to control information about toxins in the air and their risks. Although the tech giant Google does not comment on the project, several people have already said goodbye to this project, still, there are many employees who continue to challenge this unethical decision.
