At which point Google should decide on what countries they operate in. If they operate in a country where political affiliation is a protected class, go ahead and hide those comments to users in that country. But don't export that country's values to mine.

Unfortunately, the Internet allows a user to connect to to a server in any country on the planet, so your solution is really a non-solution because it's trivially bypassed.

One, governments who don't like this have ways of fixing it. Two, this true for other media--I can ship my friend a book banned in their country. And three, tough. Nobody has global jurisdiction.
