The fact that they haven't cited any endorsement from a first-world organization or government is interesting.
I'd be curious to know, if it was because they never asked for one or because they never got one?

Google is orchestrating buy-in with world governments. They've already signaled that this is happening everywhere, no matter what, and its just a paced rollout unfortunately.
