Since spring last year Google engineers have been secretly working on a project, dubbed "Dragonfly," which currently includes two Android mobile apps named—Maotai and Longfei—one of which will get launched by the end of this year after Chinese officials approve it
The mobile app reportedly aims to "blacklist sensitive queries" and filter out all websites (news, human rights, democracy, religion) blocked by the Chinese government, including Wikipedia, BBC News, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Google will also blacklist words like human rights, democracy, religion and peaceful protests in Chinese of its search engine ap
The censorship will also be embedded in Google's image search, spell check, and suggested search features, which eventually means the search engine will not display Chinese users potentially "sensitive" terms or images banned by their government.
