What behavior was fine, exactly?

    The criticism of Google and their abandoning of their "Don't Be Evil" motto has been a constant here since before Trump's first term. There's no correlation with Dems being in government. If anything, what Google (and Meta, etc) show during Trump is how hypocritical their "values" were at their core. When it paid them to pursue carbon neutral policies, and being seen as "inclusive" or whatever, being seen as against violence, they did so. Now that those in power are against all of that, it pays to quietly or not so quietly abandon those policies. They can do this because they were never their core values, they were just convenient for business at the time.

  I should have been more precise. My point was merely that the tone of MSM and left leaning media and commentators took on those same platforms was completely different. So to your point, I agree, it was never fine, but it was only seen as problematic by the mainstream after the re-alignment with the Trump admin.
