One more... an obscure (to many outside a very specific niche..) company tells its employees where the exits are.
Not sure what leverage China has on Shutterstock... but I do think the CEO has a point.
https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...peech-n1144211Months earlier, at the request of the Chinese government, Shutterstock had begun censoring a few searches by users based in China for politically volatile subjects like "Taiwan flag."
Shutterstock employees who disagreed with the blacklist on free speech grounds kept asking about it at every big internal meeting. So, that day, Pavlovsky told them they were free to seek jobs elsewhere.
"The beauty of where we live and where we work is that we're free to make those choices," Pavlovsky told employees at the meeting at Shutterstock's offices, according to a recording of the meeting posted to a company internal website and heard by NBC News.
"And so, you know, it's a great market," he continued, "and employees have a lot of opportunities to work here, to work elsewhere, and we are very supportive when employees do not feel that this is the right place for them, to pursue other opportunities."
Disney's pandaering needs to improve.

Surely this is less of a "flop" and more "cinemas are all closed in China so no one can see it"
