To be clear, fake and illegal medical advertisements make their way onto Google, too: https://www.wired.com/2013/05/google-pharma-whitaker-sting/ https://www.wired.com/2013/05/google-pharma-whitaker-sting/ (This is only the most infamous case from the past 10 years) So if the post author's only argument for DragonFly is that China needs Google because China needs a search engine that doesn't promote fake meds, it's a false premise. EDIT: Changed 5->10 years since the case in question was from 2009-2011. Also, as another comment points out[1], a Chinese state medical clinic was responsible for the Baidu fake medicine incident. It's highly unlikely that Google would turn down a government agency from its ad buying. So again, not seeing a huge difference between Baidu and Dragonfly, other than the quality of their results (but not their ethics). 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18574669 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18574669
