A trivial comparison: would you respect laws of Nazi Germany in 1930s if Internet existed then?
- moreira 8y agoI would choose not to do business with Nazi Germany. If I'm running a business and don't agree with their laws, I can choose not to do business there. If I'm choosing to do business there, I'm choosing to respect their laws. It's that simple - it's just like an individual immigrating to a country. Doing business there, and breaking their laws, isn't right no matter what you think of them.
- avmich 8y ago> Doing business there Out of curiosity, how'd you define "doing business there" in a borderless Internet? Surely Google servers remain in the USA? Would you rely on imperfect client location determination?
- moreira 8y agoThe article is about Google pulling down Russian ads, paid for by Russians. It is clear that Google is doing business with people in Russia. This isn't about visitors to a website, which I agree is an entirely different situation.
- jbob2000 8y agoYour comparison only works because we now know that the Nazis committed horrific deeds. We didn't know about the holocaust until the early 1940s. Until then, they were just another government to do business with.
