Google has no practical way to address ethics at Google-scale. Their ability to operate at all depends as ever upon outsourcing ethics to machine learning algorithms.

IIUC you're saying Google's algorithmic implementations of policy enforcement do not robustly or adequately address ethical concerns. Isn't the same true for, iono, the whole web? Human-based ethics don't scale either and can be worse (I mean, isn't that the issue with hiring pipelines? Juries?)
I think it's gotten a ton better vs 10 years ago, and is getting better still.
More on topic -- when folks here complain that Google can't release these models, it's not like they're just sitting there using that as an excuse -- Google has entire teams dedicated to ML safety trying to figure out how to filter out bad stuff, make models fairer, and avoid situations like M$FT's "Tay" (or worse).
