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.

> the people you're harassing are simply implementing a policy that they don't have the power to change.
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.
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?
