Google maximizes profit satisfying advertisers in my personal detriment. Of course I can blame Google for that. I never care about businesses making money, I only care about my personal comfort and welfare.

Lets be clear here, we're talking about Google removing a particular picture with an offensive gesture shown.

This is not to the detriment of your personal comfort or welfare. Please stop hamming this up beyond the reality of the situation. Google run a private service and while they should not censor political speech or genuine opinion, they certainly have the right to determine what they consider offensive.
