the analogy to compelled speech is a little weak, since google doesn't claim ownership of any speech they display, and since google search is an effective monopoly on information discovery. it's more like an isp choosing not to serve certain traffic. but yeah, google isn't a common carrier. There are things that I would also censor, but I wouldn't prevent someone from saying russian propoganda on my street, because I can walk away. If anything individuals should have more ability to censor their own google results, because that's like, someone speaking inside my home.
