The censorship project won't remain confined to China. Absolutely and directly relevant, as countries that have germinating democracies right now will not continue on the path. If this project gets implemented in China, India is next and I have a right to bring my viewpoint to this discussion. India already loves censorship as it is. Looks like your issue is why India is being mentioned, I have no control over your emotions.

It's much easier for Google (from shareholder-relations perspective) to stay out of China than it would be to start making tens of billions of dollars there and then pull out when China starts uncomfortably twisting their arm more. I wonder what concessions they are getting out of a company heavily relying on China, like Apple. Google would be even scarier.
- xvector 8y ago> The censorship project won't remain confined to China. I agree, but this is not the immediate issue with the current decision being made - as you implied. The immediate issue is the enforcement of the loss of freedom for Chinese citizens.
- iamshs 8y agoThe move has repercussions far beyond the immediate issue. This nefarious project can't be viewed in isolation with far worse ramifications that will follow. My viewpoint brings that in focus. I still don't know why you accused me "all of my comments are on Hindus", when none was in fact disparaging to Indians or Hindus.
