"Don't be evil"
I realized first hand they did evil in 2013 (stomping on and or blantantly stealing tech from those dreamers they inspired to dream/do/innovate) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18566929
Google & YouTube employees on HN: how do you justify still working at this company? Enough of the cognitive dissonance. Face your choices and tell me how you square yourself with them. For shame.

No, they're pro-people-who-call-themselves-Communist-and-also-have-a-lot-of-geopolitical-power-and-market-share. China is most certainly a capitalist state through and through, and Google is a money-grubbing company whose sole motive is profit. It really isn't hard to talk about these things in frank terms without resorting to silly culture-war-style name-calling.
This phrase is a pejorative for Communists; it is more or less equivalent to the term 'commies' in English. EDIT: Please don't downvote me for contributing relevant facts to the discussion. I do not support censorship.
Youtube doesn't censor most pejoratives in comments, as you can tell by reading any of the comments.
a free, open and democratic China is Taiwan. you can see it by Taiwan's handling of covid 19. they are open about their cases, allowed press to ask unlimited questions and show everything to Taiwanese and not conceal any info.
its sad that Western companies love money more than the Western values that they always talk about. "Don't be evil"
We in the IT community need to disassociate with google as much as we possibly can.
Free speech is more important than ever.
Some interesting background on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_bandit
Communist bandit (Chinese: 共匪; pinyin: gòngfěi) is an anti-communist insult directed to the Chinese Communist Party. The term originated from the Nationalist Government in 1927.
This is direct censorship on behalf of the Chinese Government.
From the actual Google Support question, this was posted on 11/10/19. Why are we only now just noticing? Was it previously confined to China and has now just rolled out globally?
