"I am a resolute defender of human rights, but the world is the world."

And when the US government decides to tell Google to flip on "dragonfly" locally then what? Anyone who would be against that sort of thing will be long gone following this kind of reasoning.

It's easily forgotten that Google has to censor worldwide based on US law.

Yes that's a bizarre sentence in the context of this situation. This author is very confused about what being ethical and principled is, or misused the word "resolute" when he should have used "casual".
