Chinese censorship or 'work elsewhere': Inside Shutterstock’s free-speech rebellion.
. Google said this week it has no plans to launch the project and there's no work being done on it currently.Shutterstock's road to China began around 2014, when the company struck a deal with the Chinese social network ZCool Network Technology to exclusively distribute Shutterstock images.
But the request quickly ran into a problem: the small circle of software engineers who worked on Shutterstock's search tool hesitated, worried about setting a precedent for censorship. But executives' answers only seemed to inflame concerns, as days later employees began drafting a petition opposing censorship, Hayden said, in an account that other former and current employees confirmed.
To some employees, that was the problem: Shutterstock hadn't made the right decision the first time around, so how could it be trusted to do so in the future? "It's his company. He can do whatever he wants with it," Hayden said of the outgoing CEO, Oringer, who says heShutterstock's largest shareholder. "But if he wants people to be happy to work there, there has to be some sort of compromise." Oringer did not respond to an emailed request for comment.
