> "Google actively tried to stop distribution of American-made PPE during the pandemic."

This sounds like a great headline to shine some light on Google's banning practices. Some bad PR may help them reconsider their lack of customer service.

Great headline.

Shame there won't be any ads put on that article to pay any of the staff. Another one of the problems that comes from a near-monopoly.

Considering the mainstream press like NYT love to attack the tech industry/silicon valley, I'm surprised they haven't zeroed in on this one yet.

I guess much like mass-surveillance before Snowden, we in the tech-world are the only ones who know how bad it really is and why that is so dangerous.

Writing a letter about this to some representatives in Washington might resonate well
