Bullshit. It is not a “private company”. It was started with CIA venture capital money. It has thrived with special government rules. Google has massive government data and information contracts.
They are pure fascist, classic Mussolini fascist. The Government wants to suppress speech and spy on every move American’s make, but cannot. They call google who does it for them. In return, Google gets lucrative contracts, tax breaks, favorable domestic and foreign policy, and protection from litigation and competition.
Strip away their legal protection and make them the same as a newspaper.
They are anything but a “private company”. And I’d rather have a nazi channel and some jerk bbqing puppies than this communist China approved internet and a complete moratorium on our ability to organize and spread information.
Lay down and lick the hand that feeds you, may your chains set lightly upon you.

They are a utility component. Without that network and infrastructure with they don’t ultimately own... or control...
They are out of business in 48 hours.
break the backbone.
watch them crap out.
Youtube got started with pirate videos. Music, movies, etc. They did little to police the site while they raked in billions in ad revenue. Then once Google took over they deliberately did not pull down content they didn’t have rights to.
