I have read nothing about Google penalizing users who don't enlist in the article? Clearly Google has taken a political stance and also adjusts search results to stir people into a certain political direction (ironically it seems to be the direction the author of the article actually favors). But that is not the subject of the article and not penalizing users, either. It is a good reason to stop using Google, but again, not subject of the article.
