Not just that, but their CEO was even invited to a Chinese government conference where he backed their vision of the 'open' Internet.

Making phones is different from helping censorship.

Although admittedly, their phone operation is also controversial by letting works work extensively.

Do you honestly think that's less bad than blocking a few websites that are already blocked and can be bypassed by VPN?
