A growing group of Google employees have signed on to a letter asking their employer to end its "Dragonfly" project aimed at creating a censored version of its search project for the Chinese market.
Why it matters: The letter, which was initially published Tuesday and is being updated with more signatures on an ongoing basis, is the latest example of employee activism at the tech giant. A walkout staged by its employees over the company's poor handling of sexual harassment cases was successful in pushing the company to announce some policy changes, although not all the organizers' demands were met.
A Google spokesperson referred Axios to an earlier statement on its work in China.
The company pulled its search product in the country over censorship concerns in 2010.
The other coast: Google CEO Sundar Pichai has agreed to testify in front of Congress, where lawmakers have questions about issues including China, unproven allegations of platform bias against conservatives and the company's broad dominance in the technology sector. Lawmakers have yet to settle on a date.
