> A consored Google would do so much good by bringing proper competition to the market. China is experiencing some weird shit right now. Before we can sort things out by ourselves, I don't think a new character can change the status quo magically. Also, censorship is just one of the problems. I use foreign service mainly because it's harder for CCP government to acquire my data, so I can fully enjoy my constitutional rights like freedom of speech outside China's Internet. If Google operates the China branch completely independent of it's home company (No data sharing in between), then I will probably fine with it. But I DON'T think that would be the case here. So in the worst case, Google China may one day became a tool that can monitor me even I'm using foreign services. I don't like that at all.
