"Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC."

2000s were peak libertarian for SP. They were against the war on terror so they didn't code "Bush-right" but they were extremely libertarian. I remember the media trying to push this "millennials are conservative actually" line by inventing the phrase "South-park republican"

Still I remember them landing some good observations. For instance, in one episode the boys learn how veal is made and become animal rights activists. You can tell TP/MS are not animal rights activists, but after the boys steal the cows the media, police, government, etc all instantly start calling the boys "terrorists." It really caught the whole post-9/11 zeitgeist of "anybody you don't like is a terrorist."
