Group of Googlers announce support for Dragonfly

It's important for these voices to be heard. Despite a couple thousand signatures on the other dissenting memo, there's no evidence that a majority of Googlers are willing to actively vandalize/cannibalize revenues, while Microsoft, Apple, Amazon etc. make all exceptions demanded by China, and bolster their revenues, market-cap.

Dissenting Googlers need to understand that Google doesn't operate in a vacuum, where rules apply differently for the rest of the market, and dissenting Googlers get to guilt trip their patent company into leaving billions on the table, for feelz

Tim Cook set the standard when he smiled and shook the hand of a dictator that presides over the execution of homosexuals. In the future Google, Apple, and Amazon can build software to help them identify and execute homosexuals.

The revenues will be incredible.

If we feel this is incompatible with our values, I strongly think that diplomacy and national level polciy is the place to take action. We cannot leave it up to individual companies to dedide these actions, whilst at the same time holding a national polciy that holds these countries as close allies, and most favoured trading partners.
