That's going to be up to you, the Amazon employee.

Personally, I'm unwilling to work for a company who's values are in severe opposition to my own, so I would probably quit my job over something like this (if I felt strongly enough about it).



Have to admit, perhaps that thought only came so strong because of me literally yesterday reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1... , knowing about this information being censored in China, and, suddenly, Amazon submissing to government to prevent people from accessing it. Right now feels too dramatic.


Living by strong personal principles in a world that no longer has any is a recipe for a very unhappy life.

The business and government leaders of the world have, over more than a decade of decisions, put us on this path, what's going to happen will happen. Don't sacrifice your life in some futile attempt to "do the right thing", it won't change anything other than harm you.


As option mentioned above, SDE job market is very hot right now, so finding another position will not be a problem.


It may be, but it's a bad habit to get into imho.
