There are many Google mirror sites, most of which are blocked in China. If the Chinese government decides to work with some of the mirror sites to deliver Google search results in China, on the condition that the mirror sites must censor the search results, what would happen? I could think of three reactions from Google:
1. Block those mirror sites from accessing Google search results, but this may be technically difficult.
2. Do nothing. Effectively a censored Google becomes available in China but people can hardly blame google for not blocking the mirror sites.
3. Work with the mirror sites (e.g. require them to display Google ads). This is pretty much dragonfly.
It seems that Dragonfly doesn't really change anything about China's censorship after all?
