First of all, "Koyaanisqatsi-like" is a top-tier reference.
Second, since we're mentioning hypocrisy, has anyone here actually investigated what channels Google is accused of censoring, as the ostensible reason for this fine? I mean, are we okay with them having unilateral censorship authority, as long as it's not domestic? Or people we like? It just seems to me that if it were channels we agreed with that were being suppressed, the conversation here would be different, because "Google shouldn't be judge and jury of free speech, they should be objective".
Isn't that hypocritical? Or is it because they're "terrists" or something? I really don't know, because no one is discussing that, the specifics of the issue. It's all this meta-geopolitics stuff.
