> Google likely spends more money on editorial control for issues of racism than for any other thing that doesn't make money.

Is there evidence to this effect? There are a lot of things Google spends money on.

Good point; it's loose speculation, if even that, and I'm surprised to see it get so much attention.

I'd add that it does make money. Making your customer experience pleasant is an essential money-maker. If people are loudly saying racist things in your restaurant, the financially essential decision is to exercise editorial control before you lose your other customers.
