There is no reason to put this feature. This is political feature and can be used in many ways and affects other countries and cultres you cant imagine
There are second order and third order consequences of having this kind of features.
Google should not push their politics and agenda on other countries and cultures. It affects every other country in different ways.
In future this kind of feature can be used in many ways we dont know.
Well, yes this is a political feature, but your comment leads me to believe I didn't make my point clear enough. Almost every feature is political when you are the size of Google. You may only be objecting to this feature because it goes against your culture. However there are thousands of other decisions that Google has made that support your culture at the expense of some other culture. Many people here are viewing the problem as Google choosing the wrong culture. I am saying we should instead focus on the immense power Google has to force one culture on another culture.
