Fact 5: The Chinese Government, which Google will collaborate with to operate in China, has upwards of two million Uighurs and Muslim minorities in what the UN calls a “massive internment camp.” Uighurs are also reported to be being detained upon re-entry into the country, with some then “dying in custody”

I can guarantee you that labeling China with these can go on forever, but how does your fact help with the quesiton we are discussing?

btw Yes I do think Google made the wrong move to cooperate with China. But also I don't think a search app is the plan here. Maybe there are some misunderstanding from the source.

Isn't it strange how in just a few days we go from "credible reports" of 1 million individuals to a fact of two million people in one "massive" "camp"?

What's going to happen by Monday?
