I seem to remember eastdakota (ceo of cloudflare) deplatforming the daily stormer (neonazi news aggregator) after comments made on HN.

- ianleeclark 5y agoCloudflare dropped the Nazis because they started to claim Cloudflare was agreeing with them. The value produced by hosting Nazis is pretty low which is why they have had issues ever since. If, however, they were a lucrative clientele, rest assured their free speech rights would be purchasable. Insofar as the value outweighs the negatives, someone's going to do it. What google does is valuable, what they offer is valuable, and that's why it's going to be self replicating. Even if Alphabet closes tomorrow, we'll find it all patched up in the future.
