Where are the troves of Googler's who were against helping the US military? They're totally cool with helping China censor information?


Er, some of us are just as pissed about this. What's your point? This also only just came out. We don't carry pagers for whenever our employer does something we don't agree with.


The article states that knowledge of the project was limited to a relatively small group of employees and was leaked by one of them who had moral concerns about it.


Yes, people that support the PRC regime tend to also oppose the US military. How is this even the least bit surprising?


Are you seriously arguing that folks against maven were PRC shills?


Nobody said anything about shills. You can be anti-US and pro-China without being a shill.


I guess I just don't get the original comment. Even if some prc supporters oppose the US military, what on earth does that have to do with the (equally silly but for different reasons) "where are all the people who were against maven?" question if not to paint the majority of maven opponents as prc shills?


You actually don't believe there is a sizable group of PRC shills/ Chinese nationalists currently working at google?


Why would I? Can you point me to evidence one would use to form that opinion?
