Google leak reveals secret China plans for censored search engine, prompting protests from employees

Google is secretly planning to launch a censored version of its search engine in China within the next year, a leaked transcript seems to reveal. According to The Intercept, Google's search engine chief Ben Gomes held a meeting in July to discuss the progress of a new search engine, dubbed Project Dragonfly. The platform would blacklist words and phrases like "human rights," "Nobel Prize," and "student protest," in order to conform with China's strict censorship laws. "You have taken on something extremely important to the company," Mr Gomes told the Google employees, according to the transcript obtained by the publication. But I do think a very important and worthwhile one.
