with respects – i believe that’s why people use google – people invest in google because it’s a highly successful business with market dominance + growth prospects.
The possible outcome could very well be Google could face some harsh stock devaluation for taking any action. So in theory Google could blow itself off.
Also if the investors where so concernned about the moral stance of Google why do we still find offensive sites. Investors want Google to remain number one regardless of the content it provides.
There will always be a SE to replace Google’s dominance. Just a thought at the moment there are many things I am looking over.

all fine if you assume that:
A) google is the only SE the US government is going to get to filter out gambling content
gambling users are such a large proportion of internet traffic that it will signifcantly damage google’s user base.
C) investors care more about the day to day operations at google then the share price & the company’s profitability
again i wish i could agree with you – but i think it’s VERY WISHFUL THINKING
