Are you saying the administration itself was involved in getting this done, or that Google et al. are, of their own accord, interested in going out of their way to burn PR (and real premium subscriber dollars) to aid the administration?


I'm not saying either of those things.

Look at the recent move to make auto manufacturers responsible for reducing drunk driving.

There is a growing trend to regulate through corporations. I am saying that.

I am also saying we should be questioning that trend.

Given that after Trump won in 2016, a video leaked of a Google meeting of higher-ups literally in tears that their side didn't win, I'm thinking it's this.
