Google isn't doing a very good job of not being evil at the moment. That's mainly due to the revelation back in August it was developing a censored search engine for China called Dragonfly. But it turns out Dragonfly isn't just censored,japan video sex it makes tracking individuals much easier for the Chinese government.
Dragonfly is just a prototype at the moment, but one that has caused ethical concerns, employee protests, and even one of Google's senior research scientists to resign. If launched, it would adopt the Chinese government's censorship rules and remove search results that used terms deemed unfit for public consumption. It doesn't stop there, though.
As The Intercept reports, Dragonfly is thought to go a step further than just censoring search results. Anyone in China using Dragonfly will have their personal phone number linked to the search. In theory, that means if a blacklisted word is searched for, Dragonfly would have a record not only of the search, but the phone used to make it. The Chinese authorities could then choose to follow up or actively monitor the individual more closely if they so wished.
Cynthia Wong, senior internet researcher with Human Rights Watch, commented "This is very problematic from a privacy point of view, because it would allow far more detailed tracking and profiling of people's behavior ... Linking searches to a phone number would make it much harder for people to avoid the kind of overreaching government surveillance that is pervasive in China."
Although Dragonfly is a Google service using its search tech, Google wouldn't be running the service directly. Instead, the more common practice of working with a Chinese partner company would be employed. That company would be tasked with ensuring Dragonfly continued to follow government guidelines and the latest blacklists. It's also thought that search results relating to weather and air pollution will be provided by "an unnamed source in Beijing."
It makes sense that any company would work hard to establish a presence in China, but the PR nightmare this is turning into for Google hardly seems worth it.
