Freshman senator and big-tech hawk Josh Hawley is questioning Google about its relationship with China after a weird translation 'mistake'

In the five months since freshman Senator Josh Hawley took office, he's become known for his insightful understanding of big tech. And he doesn't like a lot of what he sees. He's just lobbed another blast at Google, in the form of an open letter over something that seems totally inconsequential: a mistaken Chinese translation via its free, automatic translation service. But the mis-translation seemed to support the Chinese government party line during Hong Kong's protests.

SenHawleyPress Why would you retweet this article when all it does is make the Senator look like an imbecile? He needs to spend his time questioning this administration's HARSH treatment of refugees to this country.
