Google simply cannot justify this power struggle, it can doesn't mean it will. It got to the top by kissing the ring and that's how they stay at the top.
I know. I'm noting that Google could fight this. They just won't.
I still disagree with your point Google having enough power to supersede the democratic process. If they have "good will" and fight back, someone else will take their place.
The idea that if I don't do it, then someone else will doesn't excuse you from making unethical decisions.
