Google is reportedly developing a prototype system that will link Chinese service users' searches to their personal phone numbers.
Yes, it is the new search service that Google is preparing to comply with China's censorship requirements.
The Intercept he says that the Dragonfly an app for Android, is a secret program that was revealed after a complaint last month, The app could be linked to a user's phone number, making it very simple to trace the individual searches of users of the service.
Detecting Dragonfly in addition to searching from a hardcoded blacklist of them conditions "human rights", "student protest" and "Nobel prize" can also market data processed by the Chinese government. So users could read completely different results about Chinese activist and Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo.
Sources also told Intercept that "hardcoded" results apply to almost everything. This will make it possible to replace the weather and the effects of air pollution with processed data from China.
Google has not confirmed the existence of Dragonfly, although it has said that it is conducting "exploratory" work for a search service in China.
The above references have cause reactions inside and outside the company. About 1.400 Google employees have signed a letter requiring more information about the project. The Intercept he says that Google's senior researcher, Jack Poulson, has resigned for the project, indicating that there are a total of five workers left behind by Dragonfly.
Η Google αποχώρησε από την ηπειρωτική Κίνα το 2010, όταν ανακάλυψε μια επίθεση ηλεκτρονικού ψαρέματος (phishing) που απευθυνόταν σε ακτιβιστές ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων. Η κυβέρνηση της Κίνας έχει περιορίσει τα δικαιώματα των χρηστών στο διαδίκτυο από το 2010 και ταυτόχρονα επεκτείνει ένα καθεστώς κοινωνικού ελέγχου υψηλής technologys which includes results of "social belief" and a sophisticated device surveillance to monitor Muslims in Xinjiang.
Let's say that even without linking a phone number with censored terms, searches on Dragonfly will not be safe.
Poulson voiced concern that user data will simply be hosted in China, which means that government agencies will be able to access them. However, the feature mentioned adds another level of control and suggests Google's willingness to make surveillance much easier.

I suggest taking a drop of blood to have a DNA database as well.
Perhaps it was also a good idea to visit the local police station once a week and to sign a declaration of loyalty from internet users.
