>China has completely blocked US services from Google to Uber

Both are wrong, Google quit from China, and Uber sold its China division to a rival company.

Wait, are you suggesting that Google/YouTube is still accessible from China?

He is saying that Google could have kept operating in China if they had agreed to follow local (but Orwellian) regulations.

No, Google pulled its business from China because of massive state-level hacking attempts, not because of fighting for freedom or doing the right thing or whatever that sounds cool. Or do you think fighting against millions of state-backed hackers is a part of following local regulation?

Did Google pull out of the US when the NSA and friends hacked into their employees and ultimately forced them to give full access?

Google didn't pull it's business from the USA after PRISM, so I guess strengthening their networks against state-backed hackers is already part and parcel of their business.
