There’ll be a day when you’re labeled a member of another criminal regime. That’s how it ends. Is Google the ultimate judge of good and bad now?

Imagine if instead of facing a judge and jury, you just get labeled as a dissident by one of Google's legally infallible black box AI filters. No longer can you use Email, Maps, News, Video, or any of the internet using Analytics. No person to talk to for trying to appeal the AI ruling.

They aren't claiming to be the ultimate judge of anything; they can decide what results to serve and what results not to serve and they've been doing this since they started Google Search.

Do not try to be obtuse, the issue is not whether they claim that or not, it's about their actions regarding content on their platform.

That was exactly my point to the grandparent comment, I don’t get why you’re repeating it like it’s some kind of rebuttal.

Cringe.

I'll explain.

>They aren't claiming to be the ultimate judge of anything

is a moot point, it doesn't go forward with the discussion, nor is in line with the intent of GPs comment. I kindly ask you not to be obtuse and you just take it further, wow, some people ...

No. This is from sanctions.
