Allowing yourself to engage in immoral/shady activity just because your competitor is doing it actually helps your competitor by legitimizing their methods, it's an endless cycle of "but they did it first".

How’s it immoral to make sure the public knows that a product they are planning to use has been declared illegal in a certain jurisdiction?
In fact, given the state of regulatory capture, it’s a public service to educate consumers locally about how a competitor’s actions are perceived abroad.
I don’t for a second think Google would hold back if their own behemoth was in under mortal threat and their main competitor had been found guilty of illegal acts.
The invisible hand of the market (fwiw) relies on free flow of information. Educating the public about Google’s illegal acts is an act of service, though self serving.
