What does internet censorship look like?

你知道什么时候会看到审查制度吗?

"Just Google it." That phrase has become almost a knee-jerk response whenever we're stumped. But does the internet truly have all the answers?

FIREWALL Cafe is an art project launched in 2016 to shine a light on Google's search engine monopoly and China's suppression of free speech through Baidu, the primary Chinese search engine.

Peer over the wall. Decide for yourself.

越过墙往外看。自己决定。

The FIREWALL dual-search engine will automatically translate your query, and provide image results from both Google and Baidu. Compare the image results side by side, and vote on whether you believe the results are being censored, manipulated, or lost in translation!

The goal of this art project is to educate the public about internet freedom and censorship.
