The elephant in the room is Baidu.

Ask HN: Is there a search engine which includes only what the Chinese government wants me to see?

[starfallg]

That was tongue-in-cheek, but I guess some people are legitimately offended enough to downvote.

What are they blocking anyway? Anything important?

There's so many Chinese forums for hardware/firmware hacking/mods, a shame translators are still very bad...

[cameronbrown]

Definitely. What if I want to research information on a certain 1989 student protest to write a paper about censorship?

[jotm]

Look, I know it's important history and all, but looking at it realistically, it's a tiny part of the information the average person needs. Them removing Reddit, EdX, Sci-hub or the Hong Kong Companies Registry from search results would have a much bigger impact.

[starfallg]

You very conveniently left out Wikipedia and all of the other sites that are censored.
