[Intercept] Inside Google's Effort to Develop a Censored Search Engine
in China
https://theintercept.com/2018/08/08/google-censorship-china-blacklist/
GOOGLE ANALYZED SEARCH terms entered into a Beijing-based
website to help develop blacklists for a censored search
engine it has been planning to launch in China, according to
confidential documents seen by The Intercept. Engineers
working on the censorship sampled search queries from 265.com,
a Chinese-language web directory service owned by Google.
Unlike Google.com and other Google services, such as YouTube,
265.com is not blocked in China by the country's so-called
Great Firewall, which restricts access to websites deemed
undesirable by the ruling Communist Party regime. 265.com was
founded in 2003 by Cai Wensheng, a Chinese entrepreneur known
as the "the godfather of Chinese webmasters." In 2008, Google
acquired the website, which it now operates as a subsidiary.
Records show that 265.com is hosted on Google servers, but its
physical address is listed under the name of the "Beijing
Guxiang Information and Technology Co.," which is based out of
an office building in northwest Beijing's Haidian district.
