I'm not aware of any ISP in the US that has terminated a customer's service for perfectly legal political statements.

  Certainly it has happened on the hosting side: connectivity, domain names, etc.

  Outside of certain protected class situations, Freedom of Association allows anyone to terminate service irregardless of legality of political statements made on their own privately-owned platform. And no, political stance is not a protected class.

    Hence why Google needs to be made a public utility.

      Except search engines are not a necessary service for the public, which is what a public utility is. Reclassifying a privately owned business to restrict their freedom of association because you think they threaten your political views is autocratic behavior, not democratic.
