I would love to see Google banned in a LOT more countries!

I see this as a "Please don't throw me in that briar patch!" situation.

It's all a bluff. Google needs us more than we need Google.

If you don't change your laws, we're going to stop profiting off of you!

Uh...okay. I mean...that's kind of the point of the laws, so...

Google users are google’s product and how they make money. Gross ain’t it.

I think the best solution would be if Google, Facebook, and Twitter ALL get banned worldwide. I know some ISP's are banning Twitter for free speech infringement, the world should follow it's footsteps and put these cocksuckers out of business once and for all. Conservative platforms, of even neutral platforms should take their place where anyone can say anything they want without censorship.

Australia is a continent. The author mistyped that, too. But the sentiment is all the same; more emphasized even!

Article isn’t opening so not sure the context but Australia is both a country and a continent.

No, Australia is a country on the continent of Australasia.

No - Australia is the smallest continent and is it's own country.
Australasia is the region around Australia -- New Zealand, Indonesia, New Guinea, etc.

Well, I decided to check, I was wrong about Australasia being a continent (it's just a region) but there are several countries in the continent of Australia: The continent of Australia, sometimes known in technical contexts by the names Sahul (/səˈhuːl/), Australinea, or Meganesia to distinguish it from the country of Australia, consists of the landmasses which sit on Australia's continental plate. The name "Sahul" takes its name from the Sahul Shelf, which is part of the continental shelf of the Australian continent. The continent includes mainland Australia, Tasmania, and the island of New Guinea, which consists of Papua New Guinea and Western New Guinea (a province of Indonesia). Situated in the geographical region of Oceania, Australia is the smallest of the seven traditional continents.

Aussies better fight for that law, it's not like indexing and searching the internet is impossible, or only Google knows how to do it, heck they can help their own computer scientists by having Australians engineers build a search engine, it will create jobs for them and an American company wouldn't control what they get to see, but I bet their corrupt politicians will bend after Google lobbyists have a "meeting" with them

On the plus side, Google is clearly pro-China and Australia is rather anti-China at the moment (as we all should be!)
