Google probably had it in the works to go along with the SOPA/PIPA thing they expected to pass. Google has been doing alot of things over the past few years and gotten away with it.
Youtube ads are a good example. Google uses your creative videos for their advertisers, they pay the creator of the video nothing. If that isn't the gravy train you tell me what it is. That is copyright enfringement, but they get around it with their waiver agreement you sign onto when you post your videos.
Google is no longer a benefactor or friend to internet users. It isn't about search either. It's about monopolizing marketing.
Also, I just heard that twitter is going to do censoring thing. I wonder if the Saudi Prince that invested 300,000,000 in twitter had anything to do with that. I think Saudi royal family is fearful they will be next in revolutions. Twitter and facebook were the communication mechanisms that facilitated the overthrow of Egypt. People were communicating with each other, which is critical to such actions.
