Right now, part of that pressuring public also includes elected representatives in positions of some power over Google, which is quite the stick.
Of course, such elected are replaced every few years.

- snotrockets 3y agoThose people are beholden to public pressure. That's how representative governments tend to work.
- robertlagrant 3y agoSure, but the claim was that they faced public pressure. The reality is likely not that millions of people marched to put pressure on Google, nor to ensure their representatives knew what to do in this situation, but that some powerful people (who happen to be elected representatives, maybe) decided that Google should be dissuaded from this path, and that's what happened.
