The Soviet government of the Russian Soviet Republic (RSFSR) decriminalised homosexuality in December 1917, following the October Revolution and the discarding of the Legal Code of Tsarist Russia.
The legalisation of homosexuality was confirmed in the RSFSR Penal Code of 1922, and following its redrafting in 1926. According to Dan Healey, archival material that became widely available following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 "demonstrates a principled intent to decriminalize the act between consenting adults, expressed from the earliest efforts to write a socialist criminal code in 1918 to the eventual adoption of legislation in 1922.
Considering that we've been shoveling raw material (data) into.the furnace (the algorithm) for years for free... yes, Google does like it's man-power cheap.

It would take just one billionaire CEO cannibalized in front of the company's headquarters, and the vibes would flip.
Someone else in the comments said that it might be due to having a workforce in Munich that can't be easily fired because of German labor laws, and that could be an explanation
There's always been a push towards seeing working as a value in itself, but it was easier to trick people into working around the clock when wages allowed to reach one's goals (a house, financial stability, sending your kids to college). It's more difficult when workers live paycheck to paycheck and know that they won't be economically able to retire.

I could see voluntary chemical castration and psychiatric support as a viable middle ground between lex talionis and a 21st-century legal system.
Physical castration? Get the hell out of here.

Because even though there's a video showing that a cop killed a man, everybody (even cops) is innocent until proven guilty. Otherwise, you could get into a trial for slander and for having caused distress.
He's trying to legislate, goddammit.
All it takes is typing "Bernie Sanders legislation" in a search engine, and use your goddamn eyes.
Here's what he's trying to do:
My first amendment would ensure that we are not providing any more offensive military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine while he continues to violate U.S. and international law.
This amendment would not touch funding for the Iron Dome or other purely defensive systems, but it would end aid to a war machine which has already killed 34,000 Palestinians and
wounded 77,000, 70 percent of whom are women and children. And, right now, as we speak, hundreds of thousands of
children face starvation as a result of that war machine.
The second amendment that I am offering would remove the prohibition on funding for UNRWA, the backbone of the humanitarian relief operation in Gaza and the only organization that
experts say has the capability to provide the humanitarian aid that is desperately needed.
Israel has alleged that 12 UNRWA employees out of 30,000 were involved in the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7.
[...]
That is being investigated and it should be. But you don’t allow thousands of children to starve because of the alleged violations and actions of 12 people.
