Google employees suspect it is still working on secret Chinese 'Dragonfly' project

Google employees fear it is secretly developing a controversial search engine for China despite publicly stating that the project had been halted in December, according to a new report. The new search engine, dubbed Dragonfly, was originally meant to launch between January and April this year but the project was shelved following an outcry from Google workers. China's strict censorship laws mean Google's search engine is blocked by the so-called Great Firewall of China. A new platform would conform to the country's laws by blacklisting words and phrases like "human rights", "Nobel Prize" and "student protest", according to internal documents obtained by The Intercept. We'll tell you what's true.
