Hmm... I'm unable to access and read this article. Medium displays a 410 error and an ominous message: "This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules." Given the subject matter, I'm starting to get a little suspicious about why this article was taken down.

I just noticed that as well. You can still read the article by doing a google search and looking at the cached version.

Maybe try https://web.archive.org/web/20191211012207/https://medium.com/against-surveillance-capitalism/how-a-chinese-company-built-a-250-million-search-hijacking-empire-35f957566852 https://web.archive.org/web/20191211012207/https://medium.co...

  Update: Medium has restored the article. The Chinese troll army failed to suppress the news for long. Please see a screenshot of the full article here: https://imgur.com/a/uJxate0 https://imgur.com/a/uJxate0 For the data table, go here: https://airtable.com/shrtyVQQG1DhaXIxx https://airtable.com/shrtyVQQG1DhaXIxx It looks like this company is trying very hard to suppress this news. A media blackout might work in China, but not in America. I am in contact with Medium to get the article restored. If anyone has a Medium contact, any help would be appreciated.

It's displaying for me fine an hour later.
