Google removes over 1,000 "Glassbridge" websites spreading pro-China propaganda from search results.

Google has blocked over 1,000 websites operated by a network of PR firms known as "Glassbridge" from its search results. These websites, which posed as independent news outlets, were spreading pro-China propaganda and violating Google's policies on deceptive behavior. The network, active since 2022, consisted of four firms operating hundreds of domains to promote content aligned with China’s political interests. Google has removed these sites from Google News and Discover to curb the spread of inauthentic news.
