> So by doing business in China Google is undermining its own values and alienating a not-insignificant number of employees who feel pretty strongly about censorship and human rights to chase a buck that they will never get because the Chinese government will make sure that they don't.

By this point, your argument makes no sense as Google violates every internet user privacy world-wide (a lot less in China).

Violating someones privacy and actual censorship, while both terrible, are in completely different categories. Censorship is far worse and is almost always a precursor to violence against those being censored.

Nope, it is not. Violating my privacy, they show to me "only the content they think I'm gonna like". And then, they show to me the content they/their sponsor like, allowing the biggest censorship machine of all history to work.
