> the only cases where the corresponding NIC takes action is when someone complains for content-motivated reasons, then... that's biased selective enforcement.

I guess they just can't police 100% of their space, it just too big. Thus yeah it does make sense to only act once you get complains.

The fact that this time it was content-motivated change nothing to how it's enforced.

> In principle, it would be like police enforcing certain traffic laws (say, about changing lanes or making a turn without signaling) much more strictly against black people than against white people.

What? How? It more like the police answering to complains, which happens to be much more frequent against black people because of racism. Which definitely is the case right now. The solution would be to not answer to complains? Not really...

There was a complains raised, it was investigated, and they were found to be infringing on the policy. There was no selective enforcement.
