Thank you for mentioning this. My initial reaction when I saw this was a chilling sadness of "who did Google X screw over to get this?"

I hope the whole Google X nonsense gets scrapped. Doing things like they do has a real chilling effect on sharing of ideas.

Can you expand on this comment a little more? Why does it matter which division of Alphabet corp makes something?

YouTube can censor your videos, but Google fiber can’t, though they are under the same umbrella.

Censorship isn't really a product. Also a website censoring itself vs an ISP censoring a website can be thought of as different actions. A website developing a hand sensor vs an ISP developing a hand sensor seem essentially the same. (Censor vs sensor pun not intended.)
