They're picking their battles. They could go against this, but what would they win? Mild PR from users? They have a lot more to lose. I have no love for google but this was never going to be a fight they were going to make.

It would be a solid PR move to ignore the orange pedophile's tantrums, but all of silicon valley is just another head of the same grotesque chimera that is the US ruling class.

Eh I don't think it would. The vast majority of American's don't care, or eyeroll. The blame right now isn't on google, it's on the one who signed the order. Those who do care are a very small minority. So maybe Google gets a bit of PR? But they also piss off the white house, and valiant or not we've seen how petty they can be there.
