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.

What exactly do Google's workers expect the company to do? As Google moves into being a cloud provider, they have 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.

If you chose a system where people must pay you to be allowed to offer software you chose to take money in exchange for this type of control.
