How is it ethical to deny information discovery to oppressed people?
- mabbo 6y agoThat's called "finding a justification for unethical behaviour". "Well overall it's better if I do the unethical thing because when you think about it REALLY it's for the best- and yes, I'll make some extra money this way, but that's unrelated to why I've searched my soul for any reason to make this okay". Google et al aren't denying information to oppressed people. Their governments are. The companies have to decide whether they will be complicit or not.
- wizardofmysore 6y agoI'm from a developing nation who has a good tech career. I give a lot of credit to YouTube and Google for that. Denying that option to me is very costly. I'd rather have a censored version to nothing. It's just a pragmatic choice. However if Google is able to arm twist the government and remove the censor, nothing like it.
