Report: Google.cn’s Self-Censorship

|Updated:

Various searches were recently performed comparing google.com and its communist version, google.cn. The tests occurred between Jan 25 and Feb 3. It was determined that google.cn is using two blacklists to censor results. Additionally, both www.google.com when accessed from China and www.google.cn, include more web pages from China in their search results. Combined with Google’s best search ranking technologies, google.cn has become a crown-jewel in the Party’s propaganda system.

1. Impact on User Results

On issues that are highly sensitive to the CCP regime, a search within “all sites” will be silently limited to websites inside China. This ensures that results will closely follow the Party’s line.

As an example, search results for the Chinese word “Falun Gong” on both google.com and google.cn return dramatically different results. Half of the search results from google.com are websites outside of China (“overseas”) and are supportive of Falun Gong. All search results from google.cn are filled with slander.
