I-Google ishiye i-China e-2010, ngenxa yezimfuno eziqhubekayo zikahulumeni wase-China zokuhlola okuningi okuqukethwe okunikezwa yizinjini zokusesha. Kepha njengoba iminyaka isihambile, lo mdondoshiya uzama ukuthola ukuthi uzobuyela kanjani ubungane nohulumeni futhi kubonakala sengathi okwamanje isivele isiyitholile indlela.
Njengoba ishicilelwe yiThe Intercept, I-Google isebenza ngohlobo lokusesha oluhloliwe ukuze luqaliswe kuphela e-China, isicelo esingaphansi kwephrojekthi ye-Dragonfly futhi ebisakhiwa kusukela entwasahlobo edlule. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza luzokhawulela ukuseshwa ukukhipha imininingwane engavunyelwe uhulumeni wase-China, njengemiphumela ehlobene nezocansi noma ukuphikisana kwezepolitiki.
Uhlelo lokusebenza ezigabeni zalo ezahlukene zentuthuko seluthole amagama ahlukahlukene, afana noMaotai noLongfei kukhonjisiwe kwizikhulu zesikhundla esithile kuhulumeni futhi zingabona ukukhanya ezinyangeni eziyisithupha noma ezi-6 ezizayo. Imibhalo le ngosi ekwazi ukufinyelela kuyo, isho ukuthi uhlelo luzokuhlunga okuqukethwe ohlwini lwabamnyama, kukhombisa ukuzikhulula kokuthi "eminye imiphumela kungenzeka isuswe ngenxa yezidingo zomthetho." Ngaphezu kwalokho, inani lemithombo lizokhawulelwa kanye nezihloko ezitholakalayo, futhi ngokusho kwale mibhalo, i-BBC noma i-Wikipedia ngeke ifinyeleleke ngalolu hlelo lokusebenza.
Uhulumeni waseChina igcina ukulawula okuqinile kokuqukethwe abasebenzisi abanoxhumano lwe-Inthanethi abangafinyelela kukho. I-firewall enkulu yaseChina inesibopho sokuvimba noma yikuphi okuqukethwe okuphathelene nobulili, inkululeko yokukhuluma, amaqembu aphikisana nohulumeni futhi ngokuvamile noma yiluphi uhlobo lolwazi olungathinta ukuzinza kwezakhamizi.
Umthombo ongaziwa onikeze iThe Intercept amadokhumende ahlobene nalolu hlelo lokusebenza olusha, uqinisekisa ukuthi uphikisana nezinkampani ezinkulu kanye nohulumeni abasebenzisana nokucindezelwa kwabantu bayo futhi ufisa ngokujulile ukuthi ukwenza obala ngalokho abakwenzayo kufanele kube nentshisekelo.
