BAIDU, the anti-search, censorship engine

sporkium · 10-29-2012, 08:49 AM

so, for the past few months, i've grown accustomed to seeing baidu searching the forum, but recently, i've grown increasingly curious as to why baidu seems to focus more on the threads that seem to criticize china, countries that seem to enjoy eating babies and other human rights abusing kleptocracies (see Tibet).

so, i decided to start up my proxy and go searching with baidu for a while and what i found didn't surprise me at all; baidu is censoring us.

can it be? i mean, surely rant central poses no threat to china or it's people... lol... right? oh well.

baidu can suck my dick while china licks my balls. Wink

To be censored by those faggots is fine with me . . . fuck 'em. It's hard to believe that they would censor such a small forum tho . . .

DNA Copyright technology

In April 2012, Baidu applied for a patent for its breakthrough in DNA copyright recognition technology. This technology will automatically scan files that are uploaded by internet users, and recognize and filter out content that may violate copyright law. This will allow Baidu to offer an infringement free platform. [55]

sporkium - to what extent are baidu censoring RC? i mean, could you access the whole site (naturally the pit won't be visible), including posts that may be deemed as 'anti chinese?'

you won't see anything censored, at least, i don't think you will. i was connecting through a china proxy... but, for example... obviously any comment about china in a non-chinese-friendly way did not turn up on the search result...

keep in mind, baidu is only the tip of the dildo... it get's it strength from the cheap silicone-chinese made shaft.
