Google Faces Renewed Protests and Criticism Over China Search Project (theintercept.com)
On Friday, a coalition of Chinese, Tibetan, Uighur, and human rights groups organized demonstrations outside Google's offices in the U.S., U.K., Canada, India, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark, protesting the company's plan to launch a censored version of its search engine in China. The Intercept reports: Google designed the Chinese search engine, code-named Dragonfly, to blacklist information about human rights, democracy, religion, and peaceful protest, in accordance with strict rules on censorship in China that are enforced by the country's authoritarian Communist Party government. In December, The Intercept revealed that an internal dispute had forced Google to shut down a data analysis system that it was using to develop the search engine. This had "effectively ended" the project, sources said, because the company's engineers no longer had the tools they needed to build it.
But Google bosses have not publicly stated that they will cease development of Dragonfly. And the company's CEO Sundar Pichai has refused to rule out potentially launching the search engine some time in the future, though he has insisted that there are no current plans to do so. The organizers of Friday's protests -- which were timed to coincide with Internet Freedom Day -- said that they would continue to demonstrate "until Google executives confirm that Project Dragonfly has been canceled, once and for all." Google "should be connecting the world through the sharing of information, not facilitating human rights abuses by a repressive government determined to crush all forms of peaceful online dissent," said Gloria Montgomery, director at Tibet Society UK. "Google's directors must urgently take heed of calls from employees and tens of thousands of global citizens demanding that they immediately halt project Dragonfly. If they don't, Google risks irreversible damage to its reputation."

for Communist China will get noticed.
People want to be able to find the history of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
To LOL at a cartoon of a political active bear.
To look up topics like 1984, term limits.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
If you're listening, you are the resistance!
It is a problem when you can't boycott the "do no evil" company because there is no competition.
Meanwhile, Apple has the equivalent of a Social Score (they track calls and emails), removed all apps that bypass censorship in China while also granting China full control of iCloud Data (including daily Face Shots and GPS)... this is just for starters.
They do have colorful ads that keep telling us how much they value privacy while they purposely track, data-mine, data-horde and report on every single user of their ecosystem. They have become China's Great (digital) Wall. The MSM... silent.
Khazar Talmudic Jews believe this of all they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Peron, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above.
Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud.
This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple & they killed him for it. Jeremiah did the same to them also + the Essenes could not stand them either breaking away from the pharisee corruption):
Jew Talmud excerpts (the book that calls Christ's mother a whore & a bastard of a roman soldier):
1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."
2. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
3. Sanhedrin 59a: "A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death."
4. Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
5. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."
6. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."
7. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."
8. Choschen Hamm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."
9. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."
10. Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dia 17: "A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."

13. Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."

15. Gad. Shas. 2:2: "A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl."
16. Tosefta. Aboda Zara B, 5: "If a goy kills a goy or a Jew, he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a goy, he is NOT responsible."
17. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 388: "It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. It is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."
18. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
19. Tosefta, Abda Zara VIII, 5: "How to interpret the word 'robbery.' A goy is forbidden to steal, rob, or take women slaves, etc., from a goy or from a Jew. But a Jew is NOT forbidden to do all this to a goy."
20. Seph. Jp., 92, 1: "God has given the Jews power over the possessions and blood of all nations."

Why do all the countries and non-Chinese seem to want a say in what services Chinese people get access to? Why is not having Google there to provide info better than having them there? By not having them there all you have is Baidu. How is adding competition to Baidu bad for the Chinese people?
You can quote me on that to everyone
Google is an example of a company that was ruined by money. They had a great mission, "Organize the world's information." Now they have lost track of that in their pursuit of advertising dollars. I think if they had remained smaller, and kept their goal to be "organize the world's information," they would be a better company today. "Better" of course being different than the stock market's usage of "most profitable."
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
they're a Kleptocracy at best. Their "president" just gave himself more or less unlimited power. You can't really ask them what they want.
Thing is the world's turned a blind eye to China abusing it's people for the sake of cheap consumer goods since Nixon. Not sure why we care now.

I still haven't found any article that talks about what most Chinese people want. All of these groups are speaking for them.
Would you prefer a restricted Google or none at all?
Big Brother Google's PR flacks always trot out this long, incoherent antisemitic screed whenever the Goog gets bad press. Sorry guys, nobody is fooled.
To be heard...

Hear me .... Lib.com socio-slut fantasy. All humans want to fuck your sister. They do not care if you hear them doing-the-deed.
Meh. Give most people a microphone and they'll complain no matter how good their life is.
Maybe because most people don't have that great of a life so the sample is skewed that way. On the bright side, we've progressed from willy-nilly torturing just anyone anymore. We reserve that for fewer cases and pretend it's not happening.
These guys seem legit.
And our humanity needs more trump. You know there are more than one way to live right?
Censorship for al-Qaeda does not get noticed by anyone other than a few anons on 8chan. It is so audacious that no one believes they are doing it. Note the date on that post. That was uncovered two and a half years ago and no one has faced consequences, but people who talk about al-Qaeda are getting banned and deplatformed from financial services.
nothing more, nothing less. American corporate interests were tired of paying American Union wages.

Why is nobody protesting about Yahoo and Bing with their censored search in China, for years already?
to be in a herd?
Google censors everything here in the US so they should be good at making a search engine for china, I personally stooped using them a while ago first I went to bing and than I went to the new search engine Lookseek.com they have there own search results
I just got back from china, not having google there is a giant pain. No decent maps in english, no good search. Google must get in there anyway they can, just because we dont agree with a government, it dont mean our companies should not do everything they can to get into the biggest markit in the world. China is so much more advanced tn US in so many things, in the last 20 years they build mega cities, more freeways, bulet trains and better infrastructure tn US. Google and every other company should respect local laws of the country they are in, the people in that country are happy with their laws and government and just because we dont agree with them it dont mean we are right.
