Comment on Microsoft confirms Bing is down in Chinaparent

Comments

Noone said that. If anything we accept we have no control over China's policies.

Boycotting is one small lever of control.

But then you'd have to boycott some of the most loved US brands in history! Surely you wouldn't want to harm THEM? Just because they gave china so much money to become a world power doesn't make THEM part of the problem, right? Have a heart! You wouldn't want to possibly impact the retirement plans of those dearly loved brand CEO's would you? Naaaa.

I'm not on Windows, nor do I use Bing, but no it's not really when the company is a certain size.

You have control over your own choice to oppress people or not oppress people.

I'm not oppressing anyone. The Chinese government is. I'm not a lawmaker nor Chinese.

If you work with the Chinese government to carry out or abide by censorship practices, you are oppressing people. You have the choice to not comply.
