#2I'm glad Google Employees are taking a stand rather than just leaving the company and having their replacements do bad things thinking it will be a one off.

#3Quick summary (if you don't know the name "Dragonfly", like I didn't):
> We are Google employees and we join Amnesty International in calling on Google to cancel project Dragonfly, Google’s effort to create a censored search engine for the Chinese market that enables state surveillance.
> Our opposition to Dragonfly is not about China: we object to technologies that aid the powerful in oppressing the vulnerable, wherever they may be.

Those are mostly "Software Engineers" and not a lot of them. Google can kick them out and replace within a month.
Unfortunetly I dont think executives will give a slightest heck about this article..

Is it possible that people are kinda upvoting it as a "Yay for this!" type upvote without having anything to say on the topic and possibly not even reading the article?

#9If I was in China and had to choose between having a choice between censored baidu and censored google vs just censored baidu, I'd rather have both baidu and google. It's easy for us here in the western world as we have access to both and more uncensored sources to take the moral high ground and subject the Chinese to a "let them eat cake" attitude. Not sure if this will benefit people over there though to ban google completely.

#10There are not many Chinese names in the signed letter, and I can fully understand. If you are a Chinese H1B or green card holder, and you signed this letter, it is almost certain the Chinese government will contact your family in China.
