Sorry your citizen score is not high enough to access this website.

  NYPL pulls this bullshit if you're blocking scripts. Funnily enough, your IP gets whitelisted if you access the URL from a different browser. https://www.nypl.org/ https://www.nypl.org/

  That would be a government doing that (I wish we could say just one, but when it comes to restrictions based on "citizen status", it's really not just China), not Google, a private company. But the big point is Google is not the Chinese state. In fact, one might say, quite accurately, that they're not very friendly.

    Private companies have had citizens before [1], it's not unreasonable to suggest they might have citizens again. (It's a common Cyberpunk trope to have corporate-controlled principalities replace nation-states. It's a common sci-fi trope in general to have places like space colonies run under corporate rule of the company that built them.)
