Abstract
In September 2018, Google research scientist Jack Poulson resigned in protest of the proposed censored search engine Dragonfly, said to be in development in partnership with the Chinese government.
In his resignation letter, Jack told his employer: “Due to my conviction that dissent is fundamental to functioning democracies, I am forced to resign in order to avoid contributing to, or profiting from, the erosion of protection for dissidents.”
Jack will be joining us to talk Dragonfly, state censorship and much more.
