One of the most prominent name in this list having more than a dozen names, is of Baidu, China’s giant Internet portal and search engine.

Baidu has immediately stated that it is completely inclined of eliminating these links which the government has specifically referred to. Whereas on the other hand, it was also pointed out that the method of indexing used by Baidu’s search engine is a non-stop constantly running process, so even if some specific files are even removed from the indexing of Baidu, it is only a matter of time until they once again are found and re-indexed to some new location this time. Hence it will only be a false impression if Baidu claims that it has removed those files from its index, with the logic that they are no more available from their previous locations or indexes.
