I know I am going to get a lot of criticism, but hey freedom of speech:

First of all, I live outside of China and I am not against freedom of speech and human rights.

Let’s take a look at it at another angle: if Google drops dragonfly, the Chinese netizens will end up using “Baidu”, is it better or worse for the netizens of China? For the very least, dragonfly improves the situation from monopoly and gives much better/accurate/scam-free/spam-free search results. That is one way to improve their online experience.

I could be very wrong, but what I understand is these people oppose dragonfly because the government can restrict results, okay that’s not very ideal, but at least the government cannot force it to give false search results, right?
