Of course it can. Taking this action against someone with a political stance opposite from yours may be a mistake you're more likely to make, but it's still a mistake.

Besides that, the point I was trying to make was less about whether it was a mistake, and more that it's plausible that this was something that was done by an individual against company policy rather than in accordance with it.

Regardless of whether the actions are against company policy, they were taken on purpose by the "moderators".

I don't dispute that. What I dispute is the implication that they had been instructed to do so by Google.
