I think it's a case of Google strongly enforcing their policies within the company, and not doing anything to combat moderation bias, rather than them delibelatery targeting different political views. I think, as usual, people are looking for malice where incompetence would suffice; in this case, Google failing to foster a culture of acceptance, and understanding towards a wide range of political views, given that they're a global company.

Either way, silencing political views is like fighting fire by turning off the fire alarm. I think everybody should be worried by actions like these, because this breeds radicalism by empowering one side, and making the other side feel threatened. This isn't good for anybody.
