“Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google. And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation, it’s like a small company cannot do that.”

“We all got screwed over in 2016, again it wasn’t just us, it was, the people got screwed over, the news media got screwed over, like, everybody got screwed over so we’re rapidly been like, what happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again.”

I think it's clear what she meant, but Google doesn't want to deal with the legal or social ramifications of being politically non-neutral.

It could also just mean, they weren't prepared for the onslaught of bad actors like troll/bot farms. Those actors often take both sides of the argument with the simple goal to instigate hate and rage and eventually cause as much societal division as possible.
