谷歌中国因搜索结果问题面临诉讼

英国《金融时报》报道,一位中国学者宣布起诉美国互联网公司谷歌(Google),指其在当地搜索结果中去掉了自己的名字。

在google.cn中输入“郭泉”,出现的页面有这样的信息:“无法访问您所搜索的信息。请返回google.cn查询其它信息。”而谷歌曾承诺,在审查搜索结果时,会用一行字通知用户,说明某些结果“根据当地法律法规与政策”已被删除。谷歌中国公司日前通过一家公关代表表示,其对政治或审查制度问题不予置评。

在纳斯达克上市的中国搜索公司百度(Baidu),和当地人控股的美国门户网站雅虎(Yahoo)中文网,也屏蔽了所有关于郭泉姓名的搜索。

郭泉称,谷歌的行动损害了他担任董事长的同名服装公司,以及中国很多跟他同名同姓的人。

而有趣的是,百度贴吧还有“郭泉吧”的存在,而且“郭泉”似乎也没有进入功夫网的关键词黑名单。

Baidu Baike真奇怪

英文wikipedia上关于百度百科的条目Baidu Baike真得非常奇怪,一打开这个页面就“该页无法显示”,而其他文章却正常。通过https访问才正常打开这个页面

以下是24 April 2006 03:16 UTC的版本,内容在GFDL下发布。请各位看看是有什么敏感词汇造成的吗?至少我是看不出来。

比较奇怪的是,如果有敏感词汇,会造成网站几分钟无法连接。但是只有baidu baike这个条目打不开,奇哉怪也。

Baidu Baike (Chinese: 百度百科; pinyin: bǎidù bǎikē) is a Chinese wiki encyclopedia service provided by a major Chinese search engine Baidu. The test version was released on 2006 April 20. The number of articles exceeded 10,000 in two days.

Description

According to the first article [1], which is about the encyclopedia itself, the encyclopedia is an open net encyclopedia holding equality, collaboration, and sharing as principles. The article also states that the encyclopedia, with two other services provided by Baidu ("zhidao" and "post") would form a trinity system and complement the search engine.

The articles are written and edited by registered users and reviewed by backstage administrators before release. There is no formal way to contact the administrators.

Registered users’ contributions are rewarded in a credit point system.

Although the earlier test version was named "Baidu WIKI", the current version and official media realeases say the system is not a wiki system.

Principle of the encyclopedia

According to Baidu Baike’s policies, these kinds of articles or comments would be deleted:

  1. pornographic or violent articles
  2. advertising
  3. politically reactionary content
  4. personal attacks
  5. unethical content
  6. malicious, meaningless content

The third point is particularly notable, as the content of the encyclopedia will have to satisfy Chinese government censors. It is likely that articles about Taiwan or the Falun Gong would not be allowed.

Copyright

The help page also provides a postal address for notification of rights violation.

On Baidu Baike itself

The help page declared that Baidu has the rights to re-license the contents:

8. [ . . . . ]用户同意百度在全世界范围内具有免费的、永久性的、不可撤销的、非独家的和完全再许可的权利

Also, on the bottom of every page of the encyclopedia, "©2006 Baidu" was written, with a link to the copyright page [3]. The copyright page declares that Baidu owns the copyright of all data on the website.

The name

The name Baike is composed of the characters bǎi (百) meaning "hundred" (also the first character of Baidu), and kē (科) meaning "branch of knowledge".

The word "百科" used to combian other words to express "enclopedia". Such as "百科全书/百科全書"(Bǎikē Book) in Chinese, or "百科事典" in Korean , and Japanese language.

百度是啥東西?

百度在中国可谓独霸一方,我想国内没有什么人不知道。虽然许多人不满百度的一些方式,说

百度能做出什么好事?打压国内的IT技术公司,传播盗版mp3,传播黄色录像“百度下吧” 筹划上市还失败了。姓李的竟然声称google技术是盗窃他们的,简直厚颜无耻。

但是百度无论如何也拿到了google的注资。但是百度在中国以外实在没有什么影响力,在wikipedia上,我已经遇到过好几次有人问:“百度是啥東西?”

呵呵…
