Isn't Google conveniently abiding to Chinese law in China as well? How does your logic work?
- systemvoltage 6y agoExcept that Google is an American company.
- bitcharmer 6y agoOP just argued that the reason why Google abides to US law is because it's a US company. Their actions however show they abide to whichever laws are more convenient for them.
- systemvoltage 6y agoThat makes sense to me. Which actions show they’re violating any law in any country?
- yoz-y 6y agoWhat's the problem with my logic? Google has to abide the law of countries with which it does business. Abiding laws is not a "convenience", it's something you just do. If you don't you get fined: e.g.: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-tech-google-tax-idUSKCN1VX1SM https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-tech-google-tax-id... The problem with Google being an American company in this case is that maybe you can pull out of China or Australia if the law becomes too cumbersome, but pulling out of the country you are based in is an order of magnitude harder. I feel that you have interpreted my sentence in the worst possible light, but ok.
