If a condition is already bad, why bother trying to make it better? ie:
> Any claim that Google would have helped China censor Chinese citizens ignores the fact that Chinese search engines are already censored
"...so it isn't helping, it's just business as usual."
The counterpoint is that having choice is helpful, especially when the choices include user segments, even if you don't experience it. Also, participating in oppressive behavior is immoral, regardless of the outcome.
