Their Dragonfly project was going to be providing this kind of surveillance to the Chinese government until Googlers (indeterminately) put a stop to it?

- la_barba 7y agoI don't know what you mean by "this kind" of surveillance. What was reported was they were going to give the Chinese government the ability to remove links from their index. Any business in China has to operate in accordance with the local law. Yes, thats probably incompatible with the morality of some people, but doesn't sound like some crazy surveillance scheme to me. Also, as an aside, nobody (especially in the west) seems to be willing to take a personal hit on this. Have the people who oppose this stopped buying stuff from China? Buying Chinese made goods is just sending more cash to the Chinese government. Has Google stopped manufacturing their phones in China? Has Apple or anyone else? Its all fake concern and useless posturing for PR as far as I am concerned.
