IT IS very much a right thing. Don't want to work for such company? Leave! It's not an indentured slavery!

Fuck, You Sergei Brin! You just screwed the most monumental display of courage, and determination by employees of Google Russia with a single pen stroke.

It's something else to risk your own well being for a cause than to risk someone elses well being.

It were 2, or 3 thousand Google Russia employees who signed on to adamantly oppose any attempt to block this app in the play store. Brin basically betrayed Google Russia, and its employees.

Nobody had Sergei Brin call them, and tell to do that.

It was an act 100% of their own volition.
