Google Supporting Authortarianism

https://theintercept.com/2018/08/16/google-china-crisis-staff-dragonfly/

So google is making a search engine specifically for China. Not a lot of details are available yet, but it is turning out to be an ethical and moral dilemma. Basically long story short, google will be covering up human rights abuses in exchange for ad revenue, which is how they make their money.

Pretty cut and dry really. I wonder what kind of mental gymnastics google staff will do to justify censoring political dissent and covering up human rights abuses at the hands of the Chinese (authoritarian) rule?

Who knows.
