Google & YouTube employees on HN: how do you justify still working at this company? Enough of the cognitive dissonance. Face your choices and tell me how you square yourself with them. For shame.

How do you buy hardware? I’m genuinely asking because where I live it’s impossible to buy stuff that wasn’t made in China.

It’s almost impossible to lead en ethical life in this day and age if you do anything related to tech.

So wait, now buying something that was made in China means condoning the CCP? That's a pretty big jump in logic.

Similar to the jump that working on the YouTube moderation toolkit is condoning the CCP, yes.
