'Arbiters of morality of society' is only possible because American capitalism is rigged to favor gravitation towards one or a few consolidated entities. This need not be. When Americans ask, where's Europe's Google, I smile, because the landscape, for now, seems to prevent consolidation into a handful of olicharch, and therefore no one company can arbit anything. There's always loads of choice, or there should be.

Next, the bystander effect. Is it commendable a company watches as bad actors use its platform up until a court ruling puts an end to it/ Another area where Europe has history and Americans would do well to learn.

Europe's Google is Google. Everyone there uses it, so why would you need your own?
