Blizzard employees strongly support company's punishment of Hong Kong advocate and player censorship of sensitive Chinese topics.

According to a survey recently launched by the development team of Blind, an anonymous messaging app for tech company staffers, a strong majority of Blizzard employees actually support the punishment of Chung -- and in general, strongly support censorship of players criticizing China's government. Asked, "Should Blizzard reverse its banning of the Hearthstone player?" only 36% of Blizzard employees surveyed responded Yes. However, a solid majority of 64% opposed the reversal.

Blizzard hires mainly in Irvine and San Francisco and Blizzard is on the myvisajobs website. A lot of the tech companies out in Silicon Valley bay area hire over 75% foreigners. These people don't appreciate the freedoms people here in the USA have and it reflects in our current day troubles with the companies behaving like publishers instead of platforms such as Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and others. And amazingly Blizzards employees all support the censorship. Though there could be other reasons why they support the censorship. Businesses are only there to make money obviously. It could be a bad move for them to be potentially removed from the Chinese market.

These are just my opinions. I am just shooting in the dark and assuming they hire a lot of foreigners like the rest of Silicon Valley.
