I assume that if Google wants to continue to do business in Russia, they have to fulfill some amount of requests from the Russian government. Google got out of China with a lot of noise about human rights and IP, but they plan to stay in most other countries, even ones with corrupt governments.<p>What exactly do Google's workers expect the company to do? As Google moves into being a cloud provider, they <i>have</i> to do this, or they won't have a viable cloud. Already Google is being fined for not being able to store sovereign Russian data in Russia.
