Baidu.com censured in China

The Chinese government watchdog has now censured the most popular search engine in the country Baidu.com.

Market sources say that the censorship is related to some sexually explicit photos which were index and made accessible by the search engine.

Beijing Association of Online Media said in a statement on their website on this new development: “While other Beijing Internet companies have boycotted the spread of the racy photos, Baidu still hasn’t implemented effective blocking and obscuring of the photos and has become defensive and procrastinated, leading to the stagnation of a large amount of pornographic, filthy pictures.”

They are also demanding that Baidu.com should apologize for this mistake.

Baidu.com is the most popular internet search engine in the country and dominates the global leader Google.

Popularity: 4%
