I'm pretty sure throwing our political weight behind corporations play-acting benevolence, instead of actual reform, is how we ended up here.

I'll take what I can get :) The damage is done and I think Google should help route around it.

Of course I agree with you that attacking the policy is also very important, but people still have to use the Internet every day. I'm not asking Google to do this as a policy statement - but as a practical matter. They can solve this problem for users by running a VPN for everyone and also web proxy via https://www.google.com which nobody could really filter.

This does not take away from the importance of attacking this policy.
