I think the fact that both outcomes are perceived as dangerous points to the real underlying problem which is that moderation of content is desirable, but not if it has an outsized influence. In other words, the scale of companies like Google, Facebook, etc. is itself a political problem rather than the moderation policy they choose.

I don't think anyone would claim the n-chans to be on the same scale as Facebook yet they are usually Exhibit A when it comes to zero moderation being undesirable.

In that case it makes sense for Google not to allow the ads and let a smaller local company take over the role.
