Spoiled children say things without thinking (or accepting the consequences), which sounds like the director, not Google.

"Because they are sponsoring the project in order to accomplish the goals the project works toward - not because they are buying friends."

Yes, but the director is running that project and represents the company. I'm still curious as to why they even accepted the money in the first place if they think Google is so "evil".

"If they insist on also getting people to censor themselves and lie, then they're just being spoiled children."

Private companies aren't the government. If you continue to make a company look bad, they will not want to do business with you (and have no obligation to do so). It's just common sense.
