On my property, I have the final say on what is and is not allowed.

Why should a company not have the same right on their property?

Stores do. Go to a store and cause a ruckus and watch the ban hammer come down on you after the cops drag you away.

How is Google different from Ma and Pa's Widget Store? At least law enforcement is not involved after most types of bannings from social media.

You're saying Google is the same as a small family business?

If that's the case then there's no reasonable discussion to be had here...

It is irrelevant.

A private business is a private business and they can set their rules as they please as long as it doesn't run afoul of laws (ADA in the states for example).

That you think there is some important distinction where Google loses rights that Ma and Pa's store has shows that you have nothing reasonable to offer.
