Dragonfly was a search engine designed to be compatible with China's state censorship provisions. Launched August 1, 2018; shut down July 5, 2019 — it lived 11 months. One of 37 Google products killed in 2019. The Dragonfly project was an Internet search engine prototype created by Google that was designed to be compatible with China's state censorship provisions. The public learned of Dragonfly's existence in August 2018, when The Intercept leaked an internal memo written by a Google employee about the project. In December 2018, Dragonfly was reported to have "effectively been shut down" after a clash with members of the privacy team within Google. However, according to employees, work on Dragonfly was still continuing as of March 2019, with some 100 people still allocated to it. Wiki link Data: Killed by Google (killedbygoogle.com, MIT).
