3r3342. The 2012 Doodle, directed against US bills, which, in the opinion of Google and many others, could seriously harm free speech on the Internet. [/i]
 
 
In 201? Google closed its search engine in China, making many loud statements about the country's government. Then the Chinese authorities demanded to filter the issue for some search queries, and having received a refusal, they blocked other services of the company. Google did not make concessions, and blamed the government 3r3r74. in organizing cyber attacks and violating the rights of people to freedom of speech.
 
 
Today, eight years later, China is considered one of the most promising markets, despite the fact that the positions of the authorities have not become softer. From August 3r361 are discussed. rumors of a Google search engine returning to this market and the company's willingness to put up with Chinese censorship and other requirements. But corporate employees disagree with management. The other day they made an open appeal and accused the company of treason against its principles.
 
account appeared on Medium. Google Employees Against Dragonfly (Google staff against Dragonfly - the name of the project to adapt the search engine to the requirements of China). Under this account published open letter 3r374. with a call to abandon the further development of the search engine with censorship. The text says that the project is not supported by thousands of company employees, but so far about three hundred people have signed up to the appeal.
 
3r3335. Many of us came to Google sharing the company's values, including its former position regarding censorship and spying on people in China. We thought that Google is a company that puts its values ​​above profits. After a year full of disappointments - such as Project Maven (3-33336 contract for the development of military technologies commissioned by the Pentagon 3r3-374. - 3r3-3342. Ed. Android - Ed. ) - we no longer think so.
 
 
Therefore, we join Amnesty International and demand that Google cancel the Dragonfly project.
 
According to them, by going to meet the Chinese authorities, Google itself will join the denial of human rights. Employees are not satisfied that China "is improving and expanding ways to control the population with the help of technology and the collection of personal data." As they say, the Chinese Uighurs (one of the northern provinces), human rights activists and students have already fallen victim to this approach.
 
 
According to some rumors, the search engine may start in the next few months. But this information is Sundar Pichai, head of Google, 3r3355. did not confirm 3r374. . Nevertheless, he did not deny the fact of development either. “I want Google to be used all over the world, in every corner of it. Google is for everyone, ”he said,“ We ​​want Chinese users to have access to it too. ”
 
 
Rumors appeared in early August, after r3r361. Investigation publication The Intercept . The journalists were able to familiarize themselves with confidential documents and talked about Google’s plans to return to China. According to them, the company owns several Chinese services, with the help of which it conducts marketing research and is studying ways to incorporate censorship into the search so that it fits the government’s demands.
 
 
Earlier this year, the company was already refused the billionth contract with the Pentagon because of the dissatisfaction of their employees. Of course, the rejection of the struggle for the market, where almost one fifth of the world's population lives, is a more controversial issue. Google will never say it openly, but we all remember the main justification for fictional corporations from the cyberpunk worlds: “If we don’t do this, then someone else will.”
 
 
China, meanwhile, vividly demonstrates the very opposite of ethical norms. The government is openly talking about “blacklists of unreliable citizens”, and is developing 3r3-373. social rating system 3r374. - rules of right and wrong behavior, which can seriously affect life. According to optimistic plans, China intends to introduce a social rating for all residents of the country by 2020.
