By branding this as Breitbart material, they they are going to constrain the discussion to the scruffy parts of online discourse.
Leaked Google memo abandons principles of free speech online in favor of a 'European model' that 'favors dignity over liberty and civility over freedom' -- i.e. Google will only allow online whatever Google decides is politically correct.https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/10/09/the-good-censor-leaked-google-briefing-admits-abandonment-of-free-speech-for-safety-and-civility/ …

I don't usually link to Breitbart, but if they have an exclusive worth linking, I'll link to it.

Question I keep going back to on this, is just how strong is the pull of convenience? Most ppl who said they would boycott Google never did (&never will) -risk of being caught not doing so is too low, convenience of Google too high. How bad does it have to get for that to change?
