Censorship is no longer anathema to the values of Google and other tech companies, indeed neither to the values of the ideological Left in general.
The Communist Party sets its censorship standard at anything that would denigrate the Party. Google, Twitter, etc. and ideological sympathizers set their censorship standard at "Hate Speech", which is an impossible term to rigorously define leading to political judgements in enforcement by necessity.
The modern political and ideological Left have far more in common with the Chinese Communist Party than I think even they themselves realize.
The arbitrary whims of the powerful can never define what political thought can and cannot be said in the public square if we wish to preserve freedom and justice.
