I'm not sure if you're objecting for ideological or practical reasons. I totally get the ideological objection, but on practical grounds,
1. Is this a problem if you're using a G Suite account run by a company instead of a personal Google account (as in the linked case, as far as I can tell)?
2. Is this a problem if you're using on-prem AD for auth instead of Google accounts, which is one of the things specifically being introduced in this launch?
I mean, independent of whether you think this was Google shutting down free speech or whatever, it totally seems like neither Google's algorithms or humans should be able to shut down a single corporate account (there's of course cases for shutting down an entire corporate G Suite setup, e.g., if it's used by spammers), but also that seems like such a basic feature that I would have assumed that's written into the contract.
