I'm trying to figure out Google's angle here. Is this just a dumb legal-initiated move to shelter Google from culpability for any future gun crimes committed with guns purchased after looking at Google Shopping? Is this an attempt to shield against bad PR on social media from "supporting those evil gun sellers"? Or is this an attempt by Google to throw their weight around for ideological reasons, to try to make gun purchasing as much as a pariah as the Confederate flag became after Dylan Roof (when major online retailers did the same censoring)? Whatever the case, it's definitely making breaking up Google look a lot more appealing. Encourage your friends and family to get off of Google and use something like DuckDuckGo instead. For too many people, "Google = Internet", and it's becoming increasingly clear that that mindset will leave people vulnerable to inhabiting only a small curated collection of approved mindsets.
