It would be good for them to be more honest and transparent, and this leak is a nice step in that direction :-)
But to be serious, something like "We take these positions and stand behind these values and we're proud of it" would seem better than claim they are a neutral platform and they welcome all points of view and let users create and share whatever content.
This didn't even have to be a leaked document. They should have posted it in their "about" section right on the front page. If anyone doesn't like it they can go and make their own Google and share content there instead.
There was the leaked company meeting video after the 2016 elections with people crying and saying "we lost" and then users are supposed to believe those executives will turn around, wipe their tears, walk back to their desks and be unbiased when it comes to moderating news, search results, Youtube videos, charities they sponsor, etc? That's probably unrealistic... So why not drop the pretense and come out and be proud of what they support. Nobody will be surprised and many will welcome it including most of their employees.
