The contradictions

Here we recall that the European Commission last June imposed a fine Google for abuse of the search engine to promote its own products, displaying them at the top of search results.

China, on the other hand, has long exploited the world's most sophisticated censorship mechanism, also known as the Great Firewall, blocking the services of its major companies. valley.

Social networks like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are blocked in the country. Lately with a pilot free trade zone operating in Shanghai some access to such content is allowed, although it is still very limited. Services, such as Microsoft Outlook and Gmail, have also been banned by national laws.

The Chinese government has closed streaming services and has issued repeated warnings about the need to clean the content of local websites.

In fact, in early 2016, China upgraded the Great Firewall and began banning the use of VPNs, with the aim of promoting its "healthy development" in China. China's VPN ban went into effect in March 2018.
