It's not an easy question ... How to balance between private companies doing what they think is right (even enormous ones) and letting people have all available information? Private US company censorship is a far, far cry from what is happening in China, IMO.

Not so big a difference as I would wish. It's still heavily influenced by gvrnmnt regs, and very heavily influenced by political activists. Also they are global services. Chinese and German regulations, as well as U.S. regulations, influence what bots let us see in the U.S.

Behind nukes, the overarching Big Brother / censorship threat is the most ominous political threat now simmering; it gets realer every day. China bans Orwell and Winnie the Pooh and much else, Turkey bans Wikipedia, not to mention surveillance. Those oblivious need to wake up!
