It's not. Politics are different from private property, Google+ being the latter. Just because it's free to use doesn't mean you own the infrastructure and it doesn't mean you are the customer. It is their server and service, and its their rules. I think it seems childish to break the rules, get caught, and act as if one is morally injured by enforcement. That said, (1) would be a courtesy, and perhaps a reasonable one, for Google to consider. Google already answered (2) in their user content guidelines. Thought experiment: what if Google's policy was "anything goes"? What if advertisers decided not to use Google anymore once content degenerated into frat party and "rate my vomit" pictures? What if Google stopped making enough money to support Google+ and had to shut it down?
