I know that if I operated, let's say, a mall, i would hesitate to let a gun shop open in my mall.
I also know that I would not feel too hot if i were an accidental facilitator of illegal or otherwise regulation-dodging arms sales, and had no way to regulate the sellers within my marketplace to make sure they were providing their sales legally.
I think google was put in a sketchy legal and ethical place, and decided to err on the side of, making sure everything being sold on their own marketplace was something they were comfortable with being sold under the Google brand's umbrella.
would google be "dead to you" if they stopped turning up results for fetish images of animal abuse? of child pornography (they already don't)?
What if wal-mart stopped selling guns, citing regulatory concerns, or a tendency for terrorist or organized-crime elements to only buy their guns at wal-marts? would you boycott wal-mart?
why are guns a special category of goods that companies HAVE to be okay with selling?
