Dozens of Google employees have signed a letter calling for the company to scrap involvement in Project Dragonfly, a Chinese search product that enables the government to censor search results in real time.
Early Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that a dozen employees were on board, calling for Google to pull support from Dragonfly.
A dozen current Googlers signed a new petition to cancel Dragonfly. This time, they listed their names publicly.

Here are the twelve, non-anonymous Googlers who have so far signed their names to the open letter asking Google to shut down Project Dragonfly.
