This whole PR looks like a CYA for the company because all if not most of these changes occur are mandatory [0] or gestures due to the power that the harassers have over their subordinates (report me and you're fired!). Am I wrong to assume that all the serial sex harassers have been managers to their targets?

How about a subordinate relationship ban? This policy prohibiting relationships already occur for between doctor and patient, teacher and student. Even the recent police and detained people sex ban? [1]

If I was a protester, I would ask Google execs how these policies will tackle the abuse of power for sexual activity.
