Google is NOT the Government It's a BUSINESS It has NO NEED or DUTY to be ANYTHING.. That's extraordinarily dangerous thinking. Google is not the government. But Google IS an entity operating within the United States, and benefits from the freedoms enjoyed by the citizens. When Google is petitioned by the Government to silence criticism of that government, it has a responsibility to stand and resist the violations of the Rights of the People expressed by the Government's petition to silence that criticism. Google most certainly does have a duty. The only duty Goggle has is to it's shareholders. It's you that engages in collectivist thinking and THAT'S dangerous. |

Looking beyond the boardroom to issues of First Amendment protection definitely makes ME the problem. |
