>Google has to do this to prevent trolls from doing it.

So you believe that a company as powerful as Google deserves more consolidated power. No, thanks.I will stick with the possibility of getting sued by a troll than handing that power to Google.

No, but they've never used that power whereas trolls always use it for bad.

The fact that you'd rather have a troll own it than Google is literally retarded. That's like advocating you'd prefer North Korea have nukes than the US, because the US already has too much power.

Why would you rather be sued in real life over a theoretical fear? Is absurd.

>theoretical fear Profit is always the bottom line. Google isn't some humanitarian project. Get your head out of the clouds.
