It's not like the censorship is going to stop without google. Just keep surrendering control over android google, good for consumers, google are kind of clueless over what casual users want from android anyway.

Google already aggressively censors results now. I use Yandex and duckduckgo because of that. The fact the employees are whining about China just shows they are hypocrites

Anonymous, 17 Aug 2018Why don't USA pull out their Apple factories from China because of "ethical concerns" too?To my knowledge Apple does not have a single factory in China; they contract Taiwanese companies (ex.

When you literally agree to give your data (accepting EULA) and everyone and their dog knows what data they're collecting (pretty much everything they technically can), it's not spying any more.

Good to see that their employees aren't as effed up in their heads as their greedy leaders.
#DontBeEvilGoogle. Selective freedom of speech, based on profit margins, is pure evil.

The proposed Google deal would offer Chinese customers an altered/second hand product (censored search engine), that the 'beloved' comunist leaders would approve of.
I think that is the ethical problem.
