> Extremists and terrorists seek to attack and erode not just our security, but also our values; the very things that make our societies open and free
I wish they'd articulate what values those are.
When a company the size of Google embarks on "preventing and stopping" extremists I am a little leery. Terrorism and extremism have often become synonyms with "speech I don't agree with". I have seen people called "nazis" all too easily on popular political forums like Reddit's /r/politics for daring to criticize the popular opinions. So maybe I am too paranoid here but I'd take what Google does with a grain of salt.
You say something they disagree with and you might just find your email, youtube, drive, google docs, and other accounts removed...
