“Innocent until proven guilty” only applies to the state. I wouldn’t want him chasing my daughter, would you? Private companies and individuals are fully entitled to treat him like he’s guilty based on their own appraisal of the evidence.

I agree with you about Google. Even though it’s good that the rapist doesn’t get to make bank by spreading conspiracy theories, it’d be better if they took the videos down. Whereas traditional media outlets and theatres are cancelling his shows and saying (as is their right) that they don’t want to work with him, Google’s like “we’ll work with you but we’re not paying you”. Not exactly the ethical stance they make it out to be, is it?
