Is Google honestly acting following economic interests? Is it to avoid liability from hosting damaging content? Is it acting to protect us?

Google, which isn't event the most valuable company in the world, is worth above all but - give or take - the top 36 countries in the world.

A company of this size wields immense power while simultaneously remaining unhampered by all the dead weight governments have to haul around to get anything done.

Of course. It's following the economic interest of filling the pockets of company C levels.

For many people - when they already have a lot of money - it becomes boring. That thing billions spend their daily lives chasing after is boring for those who have so much of it they don't know what to do with it. For them, what gets them out of bed in the morning is the prospect of using power in fun or interesting ways. In this case, perhaps the power to change the world.
