"The Department of Justice could pull the plug of a suspected site's domain." I hope this means "suspected" in the sense of, with strong supporting evidence and a court order, as opposed to Patriot Act violation of the Bill of Rights B.S. I'm really getting sick of how many new laws are about subverting our rights through law enforcement control of telecommunications.
But really, I don't see how this should reflect negatively on Google. They provide a service (advertising) to make money. Other companies say, "Hey you're losing money for us!" Google says, "Okay, we'll help, but you cover the cost of helping you." That sounds like Google's once again, the champion of doing good things. I sure am gonna be sad when they complete their world takeover and I'll have to hate them.
