EvilRank is the technology that enables Google.cn to determine which pages could be the most politically damaging to the Communist Chinese government, based on some complicated formulas that figure out how many other anti-Communist pages link to them. This enables a kind of "online Democratic People's Republic of China", basing search results on exactly what the Chinese Communist government wants users to see when they make their search requests. EvilRank was developed out on the Left Coast in the People's Republic of Cal-i-for-nia by Larry Boy, John Romero and John Carmack.
