Child porn is not protected speech though, and Google is not allowed to facilitate it. Your ISP is allowed to let Democrats use the Internet.

You may be making a general point I agree with, but it doesn't apply here, assuming it indeed is child porn.

Actual child pornography is not protected, but literary accounts (which seem to be the case here) are.

The theory being circulated (as I read it) is that this is not about text.

But there is also a question about what "actual" child porn is. Depending on jurisdiction child porn cartoons can legally be child porn.
