Google has an internal Made-in-China problem
10 Views • Dec 13, 2018
Description
According to Eli Lake in a piece for Bloomberg Opinion, when Google employees first found out about a project to build a censored search engine for China called Dragonfly, thousands signed an open letter in protest.
But apparently there are some Googlers who believe Dragonfly is a good thing. Around 500 or so have signed a letter stating their case on an internal company message board.
Here's the kicker—the campaign was spearheaded by Chinese nationals working at Google.
The letter reeks of the CCP. It says Google should try to get back into China before writing off 1.4 billion people and a bunch of other Beijing babble.
Lake points out the letter brings up the core issue of how the Chinese government uses its tentacles to pressure and deploy its people to expand its power and influence.
This isn't the only time the Panda has reared its ugly head. In 2008, the company cafeteria offered a "Free Tibet Goji-Chocolate Creme Pie."
A Chinese national was actually offended, not only that, he or she then took the time to write an email whining to then Chief Exec Larry Page.
The chef was immediately suspended. And only after a company wide email thread did the chef get reinstated.
Suspended in America over a Free Tibet pie because a Chinese person was offended? Absurd.
Should Google go ahead with Dragonfly? Of course not. Will it? What do you think?
