I don't know what the right move here is. Nobody who thinks there's an obvious right answer is worth listening to.
well it's disgusting, but, why twitter did not become part of it this time? that's a little surprise to me. the social network's censorship is unbelievable.
Google pulling out of China instead of catering to censorship was a principled move, but fairly obviously did not lead to more freedom of speech in China. It helped kickstart a domestic, government-obedient tech industry. I don't know what the right move here is. Nobody who thinks there's an obvious right answer is worth listening to.

I would rather American companies not get so comfortable with blatant censorship. While we do still have some degree of censorship (and a whole lot pf privacy violation), it’s still generally seen as a taboo and not as a moral or necessary thing.
Once the social standards change however, the goalpost moves and it becomes harder to maintain the same freedoms we had before.

It's a bit of a pickle if someone really finds the right answer and you don't listen to it isn't it?
But if the answer is trite snark that summarizes evil vs obvious good, they haven't done that work, and I won't listen, no.
