Hundreds of Google employees signed a letter addressed to the company's top management to protest the company's decision to build a censored version of its search engine for China. In the letter, obtained and viewed by the New York Times, the approximately 1,400 signatories wrote that Google's apparent willingness to comply with the Chinese government's demands on censorship “brings up complex moral and ethical issues”, on which none exist at the internal company information and guidelines to help determine what to do and what not to. Google withdrew from China eight years ago, in protest of Chinese government-imposed censorship.
