Yes it is. Justice is setting scores with legitimate authority. I wouldn't use the term but despite hyperboles used in the parent comment this sort of thing is very common. HN would be cheering Sen. Warren if it was Exxon and the subject was climate change. Large Corporations when committing crimes tend to commit special and unique crimes. Replace Google with Al-Qaeda and you will see why,except this is white collar tech crime not kinetic terrorism.
- Nasrudith 6y agoThe law is for crimes or civil matters not petty grudges implied by score. You might have a score to settle with a (former) friend for sleeping with your sibling as a breach in etiquette but that isn't a matter for the law. Score is too expansice a term. Apply it in politicians context and the abuses become horrifying as in "we testified before congress that the bill was an ill considered mess so now face retaliation". Allowing that strong arming is not justice.
