Google closes its Chinese search engine project: Report
Google's controversial China search engine project, named Dragonfly, has been terminated and employees working on it have been reportedly reassigned. The controversial Chinese search engine previously in development by Google that raised privacy, censorship, and human rights concerns is finally, officially, no more, mashable.com on Tuesday quoted Karan Bhatia, Google's vice president of global government affairs and public policy, as saying. Senior Google employees have also resigned citing lack of corporate transparency after the company revealed its efforts to re-enter China through "Dragonfly". The search engine giant had launched a search engine in China in 2006 but pulled the service out of the country in 2010, citing Chinese government efforts to limit free speech and block websites.
