Shares of Baidu, China’s largest search engine, dropped a further 2.56% yesterday following an investigation by the Cyberspace Administration of China, which ruled that the the public is likely to be misled by the search results they find on the website. According to state news agency Xinhua, the CAC ruled that a Baidu search result page “did influence the medical choice” of Wei Zexi, a 21-year-old college student who died in April from an ineffective cancer therapy he discovered via a Baidu-promoted link.
