    Yeah I know; I wrote “actual” fuckery to contrast with that.

    I would like to see Google punished with weekly-doubling fines for the things it actually deserves to be punished for, as opposed to blocking Russian propaganda, which it does not deserve to be punished for.

      If you’re the Russian state then Google deserves this.

      What you want is authoritarianism when it suites you, and liberalism when it doesn’t.

        Nah, fuck that nonsense. Objective reality exists and moral relativism is bullshit.

        Whether Google deserves to be punished for something depends entirely on what that something actually was, and the notion that there’s some kind of hypocrisy in agreeing with punishment in one circumstance but not another is absolutely ridiculous.

          Even if it’s true - you aren’t the one deciding what Google “deserves” or not now are you? So you need to convince others of your “objective reality”.
