On stage Monday night, Google CEO Sundar Pichai acknowledged the company's leaked plans to create a censored search app for China and said that it found that it could "serve well over 99 percent of queries."

Google's "Project Dragonfly," first reported by The Intercept earlier this summer, built a product that would block search results for queries that the Chinese government deemed sensitive, like "human rights" and "student protest." Pichai said on stage at Wired's 25th anniversary summit in San Francisco that the efforts were in their early stages, but that Google wanted to experiment with how a Chinese search app could work.

YouTube removes videos exposing China's abuse of Uyghurs, citing policy violation: report

A human rights group that gained popularity on YouTube largely because of its videos exposing China's human rights abuses against the Uyghur Muslims had several of its videos removed from the platform, with YouTube citing unrelated policy violations, according to a report.

Reuters reported that the YouTube channel Atajurt Kazakh Human Rights, which is based in Kazakhstan, also had its channel temporarily blocked by YouTube. The activist who runs the channel, Serikzhan Bilash, has been called a "well-known rights activist" by the group Human Rights Watch.

According to Reuters, 12 of Bilash's videos were removed this year by YouTube amid an apparent campaign by groups who deny China is committing genocide to mass-report the Atajurt Kazakh Human Rights videos. The channel was completely blocked this month and only restored after inquiries from Reuters.
