        The fact that these get “fixed”—to the degree they get fixed—after others besides Google/Facebook find them and raise a stink on Twitter or on mass media points to the obvious issue. The crisis is structural, and stems from the business model.https://twitter.com/pinboard/status/967633439351480320 …

        Just curious, would you prefer they censor a product that is currently legal? #slipperyslope

        Believing that global corporations don't pick political sides is strange.

        Google decided (for whatever reason) not to sell guns or gun parts back in 2012. So this is not a question of politics, but of a lack of oversight. The problem is easily fixable by having human beings in the loop, but Google likes to run fully automatic.

        I don't think anyone questions they have the resources to enforce their policy. They just don't particularly care, and face no consequences for not caring.

        Perhaps people have observed that corporations have greater access to and influence over lawmakers than individual citizens.
