Google in China

As we discussed in the tutorial, Google’s expansion into China has been known to be fairly controversial. Google has been repeatedly blocked in China over the past couple of decades for upsetting the government.  In this post, we will discuss the specific ethical issues with Google’s censorship.

The Great Firewall of China is the largest-scale internet censorship operation in the world. China says that they have the firewall in place to promote societal harmony within a rapidly increasing population of billions of people. China seems to consider its internet as a part of its sovereign territory.  

A recently terminated Google project named ‘Dragonfly,’ encompassed a highly censored version of Google’s search services run in partnership with a local company in China. “Censorship in China includes returning no results for searches that depict Chinese police or military brutality (such as the Tiananmen Square massacre), pro-democracy sites, sites linked with the Dalai Lama, and anything related to Taiwanese or Tibetan independence” (Flick, 2018). Google’s plans to move back into China brought up several ethical dilemmas since it seemed as if the tech giant was assisting China in restricting its citizens’ human rights through the new limited technology. “Is Google being hypocritical by making money on the freedom of information available in most societies but then selling it out when they go into China?” (Flick, 2018).

Our opinion:

Clearly there was a huge ethical issue with this project, since it was terminated very soon after being announced. Since over time, ethical companies have been more profitable through the attainment of employee retention and customer respect & loyalty, Google wouldn’t have prospered in China for very long anyway. By respecting China’s cultural values, it is going against basic human rights and the concept of democracy. Google should look towards a more open service if it plans to try and expand into China again in order to satisfy all of its customers abroad AND back at home.
