Your definition of 'open and free' smells a lot like 'built to favor commercial entities over information pages'

Most of my searches result in a wall of sales or product pages. Hardly 'open' when they turned it into glorified yellow pages

Much like every other company, but at least I've see Google be mostly reasonable about it with a few exceptions. Much of the "deplatforming" isn't even do to Google per say but people abusing the copyright system on YouTube and many people not having adequate legal knowledge to defend themselves, or honestly just a lot of attention-seeking alt-right personality types constantly saying they are being deplatformed while they continue to use YouTube freely... Likely all one big part of a MCN pushing the same agenda.
