In Q&A, Alphabet chairman John Hennessy says it's not clear to him if Chinese people are better off with a “limited version” of Google or no access to it at all
Douglas MacMillan / Wall Street Journal : Tweets: @stevekovach , @edzitron , @jason_kint , and @matthewstoller Tweets: Steve Kovach / @stevekovach : Google went from denying there was any merit to stories about its plans for China to having its chairman do a Q&A about why the company wants to move back there. http://twitter.com/... Ed Zitron / @edzitron : It's messed up that my friend @jrhennessy can't give a straight answer here http://twitter.com/... Jason Kint / @jason_kint : This is the same argument Mark Zuckerberg made to justify offering Free Basics in Myanmar while trying to sleep at night. http://twitter.com/... Matt Stoller / @matthewstoller : The issue with Google going into China isn't just that Google will enable Chinese censorship, it's that the Chinese gov't will now have leverage over Google worldwide. If it can, the CCP will eventually try to start censoring Google all over the world. http://twitter.com/...
