Because Baidu is monopolizing the search market in China. It also is especially dependent on misleading medicl searches financially. Organizationally there are reports that Lu Qi, its former CEO just lost out fighting those in favour of this business model. And CEO Robin Li is either bizarrely very delusional about the integrity of his business or extremely wicked in not giving a shit about cheating people into buying shoddy medical services. Baidu is evil pure and simple. Google on the other hand will be under special scrutiny from both the Chinese gov and overseas, though ironically for entirely opposite reasons. It’s extremely unlikely it will do anything remotely similiar to what Baidu does.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoPerhaps you are unaware of how bad Google has been at this as well: https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/7/16257412/rehabs-near-me-google-search-scam-florida-treatment-centers https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/7/16257412/rehabs-near-me-go... There is a huge portion of Google's revenue that comes from malicious, fraudulent ads, and they have very little financial reason to prevent themselves from making boatloads of money. They only locked down rehab ads once The Verge called them out on it. Please read this whole expose, then decide if Google is really going to improve things in your country.
