Google in China Flashcards
(1 cards)
Briefly Descirbe
In 2006, Google launched their search engine in China. However, they had to self-censor as it was one of the regulations in China
They were able to control 25% of the search engine by making its software understand languages such as characteristics like Korea and Japan.
This was an attempt to avoid sensorship however, they were still faced with many obstacles after this.
Since they ran Google outside of China, the servers were extremely slow compared to their Chine Seach Engine competitors Yahoo! China
This lead to many unsatisfied customers and complaints
China was then blocked from this search engine and was diverted to other Chinese search engines which the public hated.
They created Goolge.cn which then was fully censored. Ethics plays a huge role in this
Human Rights?
Freedom of speech?
