I&amp;#x27;ve been able to talk to several Googlers since then, several of whom are now directly involved with Tech Solidarity. Google takes a lot of shit, and some of it is probably deserved, but there seems clearly to be a moral core to the people working there.&lt;p&gt;I stick up for Google a lot --- nobody has done more to improve the security of the web than they have --- but they deserve credit for this kind of thing too.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Sergey Brin joins protest against immigration order at SFO</title><url>http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/28/14428262/google-sergey-brin</url></story>

For related reasons, his mother also had to leave her job. For the next eight months, without any steady income, they were forced to take on temporary jobs as they waited, afraid their request would be denied as it was for many refuseniks. During this time his parents shared responsibility for looking after him and his father taught himself computer programming. In May 1979, they were granted their official exit visas and were allowed to leave the country.[12] At an interview in October 2000, Brin said, &amp;quot;I know the hard times that my parents went through there and am very thankful that I was brought to the States.&amp;quot;[17]&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;In the summer of 1990, a few weeks before his 17th birthday, his father led a group of high school math students, including Sergey, on a two-week exchange program to the Soviet Union. His roommate on the trip was future Carnegie Mellon University computer science professor John Stamper. As Brin recalls, the trip awakened his childhood fear of authority and he remembered that &amp;quot;his first impulse on confronting Soviet oppression had been to throw pebbles at a police car.&amp;quot; Malseed adds, &amp;quot;On the second day of the trip, while the group toured a sanatorium in the countryside near Moscow, Brin took his father aside, looked him in the eye and said, &amp;#x27;Thank you for taking us all out of Russia.&amp;#x27;&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Sergey_Brin#Early_life_and_education&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Sergey_Brin#Early_life_and_edu...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Sergey Brin joins protest against immigration order at SFO</title><url>http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/28/14428262/google-sergey-brin</url></story>
