It won't do anything. You don't think they've anticipated random angry outbursts going into this? Plus, the people you're harassing are simply implementing a policy that they don't have the power to change.

The only pressure that Google has been shown to consistently respond to is political. Get a couple of senators (... of the right party) to send them a mild rebuke and they will indeed retreat a little (... and try something else later). But that's a lot harder than posting angry comments until the next piece of outrageous news comes along, isn't it?

Directly sending a message to the implementers doesn't preclude involving politicians in this too, and I absolutely agree that the latter should be involved.

I'm not on board with harassing people (sad that I have to include this disclaimer).

That said, the people are not simply implementing this. They're actively and publicly justifying and defending it.
