Google has terminated its controversial project to set up a search engine in China, an executive told the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

The project faced public backlash as well as widespread criticism from the tech giant's own staff members, after it was revealed in The Intercept via leaked documents.
'We have terminated Project Dragonfly,' Bhatia said of the company's efforts to expand to the Chinese market, according to Buzzfeed News.

Thiel needs to read the Constitution.
No more is needed said - if a threat causes this reaction they are Guilty! Damn, I liked Google.

Dolt thinks he is so clever interpreting it that way.
But Dolt thinks going to McDonalds on a date is living large.
The Yellow Peril is Back! Joe McCarthy would be proud!
Yellow Peril?
Japanese can buy anything they want in the US if the current owners put it up for sale.
Maybe it is about ideology and not race?
