New York residents sued one of China’s largest companies, Baidu.com, Inc., for blocking articles and other information regarding the democracy movement in China from its search results in the United States. Baidu is the largest internet search engine in China. The judge concluded that the Baidu algorithm, which removes certain search results, was in essence an editorial judgment about which political ideas to promote. The judge ruled that Baidu had a First Amendment right to skew search results for political reasons.
