As far as I'm aware, google isn't enacting a genocide... as far as I'm aware

Sure, but Google's just doing it because it's profitable, not because they're hell-bent on annihilating an ethnicity /s

Sure, if you remove the profit motive they wouldn't provide resources.

Certainly not morally defensible... but also not outright evil either. Just absent any ethical compass.

Or my definition of enacting.
