I worked at Google years ago when in response to what most believe was a Chinese state-sanctioned hack, Google decided to pull out of China. Many believed (myself included) that this pull out was largely driven by Sergey Brin. This all happened in the 1-2 years before I joined but I like many greatly respected that stance.

It was sad to see (from the outside this time) this principle get thrown aside with Dragonfly. What's worse is that Google will never be allowed to succeed in China so there was literally no point.
