Controversies

Censorship

Being in the jurisdiction of the Chinese government, Baidu is required to censor content on their encyclopedia
in accordance to relevant laws and regulations such as the China Internet Security Law and the National
Intelligence Law.[11] All editors need to register accounts using their real names before editing, and
administrators filter edits before they go public.[12] This censorship has attracted criticism.[2][3][4]

Copyright infringement allegations

In 2007, Florence Devouard, then Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, said that
"They [Baidu Baike] do not respect the license at all, [...] That might be the biggest copyright violation we
have. We have others."[2][12] Users of the Chinese Wikipedia created a list of entries allegedly infringing
Wikipedia's copyright.[1] The Wikimedia Foundation decided not to pursue any legal action.[12] In response to
criticism, Baidu stressed that Baike is a platform for user-generated content.[2]
