Does Google still stand for "free and open Internet"?

"Our values remain the same: The Internet should be competitive and open. That’s how it works today and how it has always worked. It’s a level playing field, where new entrants and established players can reach users on an equal footing. If Internet access providers can block some services and cut special deals that prioritize some companies’ content over others, that would threaten the innovation that makes the Internet awesome."

Pretty sure some equal footing is more equal than other.

I have no doubt even Stalinist Russia had something in its constitution about being a workers paradise where everyone's needs were equally met etc etc"

That's basically how propaganda works by changing and redefining words and concepts.
