I think the key here is that it is bad according to society's legal norms, rather than any "socio-political norms". I think it is absolutely justifiable that Google filters based on legal norms, given that it is a company operating under a given legal system (or multiple). If the result was purely "technical" it would need to show a lot of content that you don't want it to show.

The legal norms obviously originate from socio-political norms and moreover law is literally political, so the scare quotes are quite unnecessary.
