Google employees risked their jobs to protest against Dragonfly.


people with perhaps the highest demand for their labor than any other professionals risked their cushy jobs to influence their company to not be complicit in the censorship of over a billion people with a regime that has committed genocide? that's superhuman dedication right there, good job Google superheroes


There are other tech companies doing related work in China. Are you saying that the employees of those companies are all complicit with genocidal actions?


Assisting a regime (which has committed genocide) with censorship isn't the same as assisting genocide. That should be clear from reading my comment.


Someone risked their job to leak it to the press. The average Google employee joining a protest isn't risking anything since Google has a tradition of internal debate.
