There was once upon a time a Google that stood up against this shit.  No 
more, cravenly profit-seeking bastards.  The entire internet economy has 
gone flaccid ... we'll do whatever you say as long as you let us make 
profits.

Remember when Google pulled out of China rather than capitulate?  Modern 
Google would be doing no such thing.
