Yeah man but it is related!

Anyways I don't know one way or the other if Google is being unpatriotic. I know MS and Amazon work with ICE and the US Military and that Google and FB have come under a lot of pressure by their own employees to stop all cooperation work in those areas.

The reason Google isn't working with US Military as much as it could be is because it's in social justice focused employees protested at Google about 2 years ago. You might have missed the articles dude.

But apparently, Google is doing business with China military. That’s nice of them...being an American company and all....

And if true, then these dealings are with the top of the exec chain......nothing to do with employees.

They’re a “global” company.

I know this thread is old now, but to set the record straight...all companies that do business in China are required to work with the Chinese gov. Tech companies are required to give up their source code. The Chinese Gov turns that code over to the military and other business to further their cause. They deny it happens, but there isnt much space between doing business with the gov and the military. That goes for Apple, IBM, Google,
insert names here.
To protect America, all American businesses should stop doing business with China. We are feeding the dragon that will try to eat us one day.
