Headcanon accepted. The fae are notoriously afraid of iron, and harmed by merely touching it. What's the equivalent for Google?

Don't even need to prove you own your target video, just claim it and boom, you get what you want (redirect monetization to your MCM, takedown the video, etc).

That's not affecting Googs though, that's affecting users you have a beef with instead. The Googs seem to be impervious to any kryptonite.

I think that to risk a lawsuit over copyright infringement is an opening that could be interpreted as kryptonite, if I upload the Justice League movie to Youtube, Warner wouldn't hesitate to sic a lawyer to Google's offices demanding the takedown, not hurting you, but them.

Please, if that actual scenario were to happen, Googs would just immediately comply with the take down and move on. Nothing would happen to Googs. They would then shut down your account, which is exactly what should happen. You're* an idiot for posting an obviously known copyrighted piece of conent in its entirety. Don't be a troll

*Not you you, but the royal you

The aurora borealis perhaps? The sun could decide to throw us a particularly nasty geomagnetic storm one day and suddenly Google would go to fearsome tyrant to basically irrelevant overnight. I imagine most of us on HN would be out of a job too!

Aurora Borealis? In this time of the year?

(can't wait for this one to get deleted...)

Actually, I kinda think it fits with the topic! You've managed to make an oblique cultural reference to the exact issue at hand:

YouTube users: Can I see it?

Google: ...no.

Unlocked smartphones, where the user can easily install third party apps, including browser with ad blocker.

Emphasis on easily - if it ever becomes straightforward, without going through scary settings menu, Google will be quite scared.

Firefox Mobile is in Google Play Store, and trivially has an ad blocker installed?

They've been there done that. They've been to the EU as well and came back with a tan (which let's face it is an impressive feat on its own). Have they even "suffered" fines in the EU that the Zuck has received?
