Three Arrests In China Over Baidu Post-Deleting Services

Posted by samzenpus on from the watch-it-disappear dept.

twoheadedboy writes "Three employees of Baidu, China's most popular search engine, have been arrested under suspicion of taking bribes. It is alleged that the employees accepted money in exchange for removing negative feedback left on Baidu's forum service. The company had already fired four people for misconduct before three of them were arrested. This so-called 'post-deleting' business is believed to be big in China, even though it is illegal."

    I see we have no conception of how China works. This is very common among people who use Wikipedia (written by Westerners in English) for a reference. It's like quoting the Bible's Song of Solomon to justify pedophilia.
