Google is banned in China along with almost all other US & European tech.
- qubex 7y agoGoogle (the search engine) may well be ‘banned’ (but you’d be surprised how pedestrian it is to obtain and use a VPN connection... even since the purported ‘crackdown’... I was there recently) but the technology Google provides, in the form of Android and various backends and doodads, very much ‘owns’ the market there. I don’t (really) believe that a glorified pedometer such as the FitBit will infringe on people’s privacy and security against a state actor such as the PRC any more than their cellphone already does. So yeah... but... nah.
