The establishment is also uniformly willfully ignorant in a Upton Sinclair sense and stubborn. They demand tbe world act like how they expected it to like editorial controls of publishers.
The willfull ignorance is akin to saying that it is impossible to distribute music more efficiently than audio CDs and despite ripping being trivial direct music downloads are somehow an unacceptable risk. We saw this with Tower Records and other dead middlemen killed by the now commodity 99 cent song default download.
You could see this in EU as well with publishers being frothing mad at Amazon undermining their price cartels. I am personally of the point of view that this sort of disruption is a good thing as out of vogue as it may grow.
In this case their norms of the old world they are fine with some author publishing a "special interest" book stating say the War on Drugs is racist it is just publishers putting outragous stuff to print for money as normal but when it shows up in the W section of encyclopedia listing racism as an influence on the War on Drugs they are outraged at the publisher acting "pushing against" them. Except Google isn't doing anything active against them let alone actual remotely an issue.
If anything has been far too lenient with their manual turn offs of trending to avoid awkward viral suggestions but that is my opinion and my biases are anti-norm by default.
