Shutterstock employees fight company's new Chinese search blacklist

> “Do we make the majority of our content available to China’s 1.3 billion citizens or do we take away their ability to access it entirely? We ultimately believe, consistent with our brand promise, it is more valuable for storytellers to have access to our collection to creatively and impactfully tell their stories.”

But they do more than just make part of their collection available: they conceal the existence of censorship. As the article says, searching for banned terms merely returns no results - it doesn't inform the user that "These search terms are censored on request of the Chinese government."
