Where is it explicitly pushing a "certain political agenda"? Is there a footnote somewhere that says "these documentation requirements were sponsored by <x> for congress"? You surely mean implicit. What obligation does Google have to be apolitical anyway? To make you feel more comfortable?

It's definitely more explicit than NOT having such requirements, which would be the expected norm for technical things.

Google has a HUGE amount of power over people's lives now, arguably more than the government. It has effectively become a form of government itself, but one we didn't vote for. Do you not see a problem with that?

[jagger27]

Google a ton of dangerous unchecked power, absolutely. But it's a documentation style guide that sets off your alarms? Get over yourself.

[userbinator]

The alarms have been going for a long time. This is just the frog-boiling water getting a little hotter.

OK, we'll tell George Orwell to get over himself. He was the one who warned us about giving excessive amounts of power to people who want to control the language.
