Whether Google is in China or not, China Internet is not free and open. That's simply not Google's choice. The people with guns and tanks in China decide that.

Whether Google is in China or not, China Internet is not free and open.
That's simply not Google's choice. The people with guns and tanks in China decide that. Judge Google by what they do the Internet where they have power, with browser tech and HTTP standards and AMP and DNS and YouTube and whatever.
- calibas 8y agoThey do have power here, all they need to do is not secretly partner with an oppressive regime to assist them with censoring the Internet. That's quite easy to do, hell, I'm doing it right now... All you've done is framed the situation in a way that makes it seem like Google isn't responsible for it's own actions.
- ionised 8y ago> China Internet is not free and open. Then Google should have nothing to do with it. Otherwise they are not supportive of 'a free and open internet', but are actively supporting a close, censored and controlled internet. It's pretty simple.
