It's fairly interesting to contrast the reaction here with that whenever Uber is involved. Google violate laws in China, but apparently that's to be encouraged, yet if Uber do the same in a nice supposed liberal democracy they are to be criticised?
As it stands end users are reduced to pawns in the emerging power struggle between governments and multinationals.
- skwirl 12y agoWhat law did Google break that caused gmail to be shut down? According to the article the Chinese government denies doing anything. I also don't think you understand HN very well. What is supported is not supported on grounds of legality but on what is viewed as good for people as a whole. "What is legal is what is right and what is right is what is legal" is the antithesis of how most hackers think.
