A group of protesters are hoping to plea a U.S. judge's ruling that treated the restriction on Baidu which is the popular Chinese search engine, as free speech.
In making the decision, District Judge Jesse Furman compared the restriction to a newspaper practicing its article right to distribute what it needs. However Stephen Preziosi, legal counselor for the eight master democracy activists, said in an email Saturday that the investigation was wrong, and that the court had a fundamental mistake of how internet searchers function.
An appeal has been made for the plan to be documented later this week, Preziosi wrote.
On last Thursday, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of NY rejected the claim, and decided that Baidu had the right to make a search engine that supports certain political discourse over the other.
Daily papers need to oversee the costs and expenses along with the spacing on the paper in selecting what they distribute, however web indexes work by indexing all content on the Web, Preziosi said. For Baidu's situation, the organization attempted to "proactively" reject the professional vote based system which works from its web search tool, he added.
Baidu has refused to comment. However as an organization working in China, Baidu must take after the country's strict rules on censorship, including the obstructing of content considered hostile to government.
Anyway legal counselors speaking for Baidu have called Thursday's decision a triumph free speech rights.
