Agree.

In the US, we have government to take these things on. We have rule of law. And rights. Both government and individuals are subject to these.

With Google, there is no rule of law or rights. Goggle does not have a constitution. If you have a problem with them, what can you do? Nothing.

There is no right to question your accuser. There is no right to protect agains unreasonable search/seizure. There is no right to free speech. No right to privacy. And so on. There is only what Google arbitrarily decides to do. And if you're not in the majority as Google defines it, then it just sucks to be you.

This is why unregulated monopolies are intolerable. The US is founded on the principle that powers are separated to keep any one entity from getting too much and being able to infringe on the rights of citizens.

Google is way over that line, with monopolies in many areas. Add the partisan activism, and this is a very toxic brew.
