They decided that was agains the company values to comply with Chinese law, so they stopped offering some services.
It's the law, and maybe I don't like it at all, but still I thing that companies should comply. I also thing that that laws should me changed.

- icebraining 11y agoComply with what? What law is being broken here?
- odbol 10y agoCensorship laws, mainly. China wants to block out huge portions of search results, and Google doesn't want to do that.
- tluyben2 10y agoSome services? I have not found any Google service to work over there. Which one should work?
- sdk77 10y agoGmail works, in the sense that Shanghai utility is able to deliver e-mails to me when it's time to pay the electricity bill. Downloading stuff from google's android repostitories (i.e. for developing Android) also works (most of the time).
- tluyben2 10y agoYes the latter works (Android repos which are not on google.com), but when in Shanghai I get nothing from Gmail, ever. Not sure how that works then but at least it's not supposed to work I guess as that's officially banned. And when something works from Google it'll not work after trying it a few times. I definitely find it both hard to work there and both relaxing. Hope to be in Shanghai soon again.
