Google bosses have forced employees to delete a confidential memo circulating inside the company that revealed explosive details about a plan to launch a censored search engine in China, The Intercept has learned.
The memo, authored by a Google engineer who was asked to work on the project, disclosed that the search system, codenamed Dragonfly, would require users to log in to perform searches, track their location — and share the resulting history with a Chinese partner who would have “unilateral access” to the data.
The memo was shared earlier this month among a group of Google employees who have been organizing internal protests over the censored search system, which has been designed to remove content that China’s authoritarian Communist Party regime views as sensitive, such as information about democracy, human rights, and peaceful protest.
According to three sources familiar with the incident, Google leadership discovered the memo and were furious that secret details about the China censorship were being passed between employees who were not supposed to have any knowledge about it. Subsequently, Google human resources personnel emailed employees who were believed to have accessed or saved copies of the memo and ordered them to immediately delete it from their computers. Emails demanding deletion of the memo contained “pixel trackers” that notified human resource managers when their messages had been read, recipients determined.
The Dragonfly memo reveals that a prototype of the censored search engine was being developed as an app for both Android and iOS devices, and would force users to sign in so they could use the service. The memo confirms, as The Intercept first reported last week, that users’ searches would be associated with their personal phone number. The memo adds that Chinese users’ movements would also be stored, along with the IP address of their device and links they clicked on. It accuses developers working on the project of creating “spying tools” for the Chinese government to monitor its citizens.
People’s search histories, location information, and other private data would be sent out of China to a database in Taiwan, the memo states. But the data would also be provided to employees of a Chinese company who would be granted “unilateral access” to the system.
To launch the censored search engine, Google set up a “joint venture” partnership with an unnamed Chinese company. The search engine will “blacklist sensitive queries” so that “no results will be shown” at all when people enter certain words or phrases, according to documents seen by The Intercept. Blacklisted search terms on a prototype of the search engine include “human rights,” “student protest,” and “Nobel Prize” in Mandarin, said sources familiar with the project.
According to the memo, aside from being able to access users’ search data, the Chinese partner company could add to the censorship blacklists: It would be able to “selectively edit search result pages … unilaterally, and with few controls seemingly in place.”
No. Communists are totalitarian, fascism is authoritarian.

Useful tip: if you want REAL news and not zionist gematria like fox and cnn, find the channels like RT America: one that reveals trump puts israel before americans. Zionists run the world (pro israel). Cnn and fox would never talk about israels influence on the government. Iran is going to war with US soon because of the zionist agenda to provoke them. Rothschild will take down north korea next then there will be a one world currency and ultimitely a new world order. All news uses gematria to hoax it look up zackary k hubbard on youtube or chikozi truth. Freemasons work for zionist jews. (Not all zionists ars jews like trump). Zionists also created nazis hitler made a zionist/ swastika coin.

Someone needs to go plant a bomb in their HQ in Silicon Valley. I'll give the fertilizer and rusty bent nails to anyone who lives near there.

Chinese Internet censorship is their great beta test for the world, no doubt. They know the Internet is limiting their abilities to push their established narratives onto the population.
Ethan Long
Why are we all freaking out that an American Military wants to nuke Japan? The bombs aren't our problem, it's theirs. Fucking retards.
It's a tool you fucking moron. A tool can be used on anybody at any time. I want these fucking retards that cant put two and two together to leave.
We need an above 130IQ based filtering system with mandatory monthly tests to post on 8ch. I'm so sick of being on the same planet as these fucking retards we have to explain everything to.
Why are we all freaking out that op wants to scam us out of intellect though? The censorship isn't our problem, it's theirs. Fucking retards

this story is completely uncorroborated by anyone with even a shed of credibility
i would say im shocked that theres so many faggots roaming around here who take it as true at face value–but im really not
Hurr everyone iz dumb but me! Nothing will come of this and the more you bring up muh IQ the more retarded you look. People with actual brains have nothing to prove to an anonymous imageboard. Nobody is more retarded than alarmists who think the sky is falling because of an article on Zig Forums
