Leaked Transcript of Private Meeting Contradicts Google’s Official Story on China

Ben Gomes Addresses Google Staff Working on Dragonfly, July 18, 2018:

“I think this has been a long haul for many of you, I just want to acknowledge that first of all. Many of you have started working on this a while back. It’s not been easy working on a project with no obvious outcome. Thank you for that. In doing so you have taken on something extremely important to the company — our basic mission of serving all of the world’s users. Along the way, I think there are many benefits that come to us that are auxiliary, not just from the direct work, but from all of the auxiliary things of working in China.
