However, Pichai did hint at doing more in the country which is infamous for its restrictive internet policies.
Putting
to rest the rumours of Google rolling out a customised version of its
popular search engine service in China, CEO Sundar
Pichai clarified that the company is not close to launching a
search product.
However,
Pichai did hint at doing more in the country which is infamous for
its restrictive internet policies.
Pichai's
comments follow reports about Google
building a custom-version of its search engine to abide by the
Chinese rules and deliver censored search results, Cnet reported.
According
to the report, the secretive project, codenamed Dragonfly, led to a
protest by 1,000 Google employees who objected to the company's
efforts at supporting the restrictive, state-sponsored censorship.
Although
Pichai has dismissed reports about not being 'close to' launching the
search engine, there have been confirmed reports about Google
actually working on a censored version.
