I don't think this policy is bad for the EU. Google will remove articles faster than publications can notice and report on their removal. Most EU citizens will not care enough to use non-EU Google sites on a regular basis.

The censorship is frivolous but effective. I should have said "I don't think this policy is bad for the EU government."
