MIT Thinks Google Is Reentering the Chinese Market
December 13, 2018
I was surprised to read that Google is actually reentering the Chinese market. “What Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s Visit to Congress Taught Us (Spoiler: Not a Lot)” states:
Despite his best evasive efforts, Pichai confirmed Google is working on re-entering the Chinese market—referring to the controversial search project “Dragonfly.” In a series of carefully-worded statements Pichai said the project was an “internal” one and that there were no plans to launch a product in China “right now.”
I thought Google had shelved this idea. MIT sees it differently.
With rumors of about 100 people working on a Chinese search engine, I thought it was obvious that Google had no intention to make another valiant attempt to tap into the Chinese revenue stream. Chinese regulations are easy to understand: Censorship, surveillance, and social scores are steps on the path to resolving “dominant contradictions.”
As Mao Zedong allegedly said, “To read too many books is harmful.” Filtered search results are definitely okay I assume.
