Chinese search engine, operating in the U.S., has First Amendment right to skew search results for political reasons

In this suit, a group of New York residents who advocate for increased democracy in China sue one of China’s largest companies, Baidu, Inc…. Plaintiffs contend that Baidu, which operates an Internet search engine akin to Google, unlawfully blocks from its search results here in the United States articles and other information concerning “the Democracy movement in China” and related topics.

All search engines 'skew' their results. Not like google, bing, or yahoo are giving us the whole or even best results.

Advanced search strings help cut through the spam though. Use:

site:*.edu contentstring
to search for actual academic articles a lot. Or end it with a country code to search just that country.

site:www.usmessageboard.com contentstring
for whatever since it works better than the one on-site

Baidu is a very popular search engine. A lot of international students who come over here to study still rely on it. This kind of censorship is not good for their academic work here.
