This isn't suprising, every person have different moral compass and value. I too would gladly work on this. Censorship is just a necessary work around (for now) to enter the chinese market.

This is lazy thinking. Or do you think the unabomber was justified because he simply had a different moral compass?
Not who you replied to, but your comparison is a bit off. Everyone has to choose their own morals and values, and what they think is right or wrong. But no one can choose whether something is legal or not. If someone thinks that destroying property or killing a person for reason XYZ is ok, than they have the right to believe that - and surprisingly many people do. But that doesn't mean they are allowed to, or should be doing it. We have laws because we can't rely on people's morals.

Yes some can, it's matter of influence or how powerful you are

Fair point. (Luckily the Unabomber did not have that power or influence)
To him it was justified and no matter how evil a person you think it is, I'm pretty sure you can always find some other people who think its is right.
