How are you seeing people getting tortured because of Google?


If Google assisted Chinese dissidents in accessing censored material, that could result in those people being tortured. If Google abides by Chinese censorship rules and is legal in China, how are they getting anyone tortured?

"Don't be evil" is another story. Is it evil to participate in censorship, even if it goes on with or without you? Many would say so. I think many of Google's employees think so. I'm sure that seemed like a much simpler statement when they weren't one of the world's preeminent tech companies. Now things can get very gray.
