It seems the rationale is Google is abusing market power as a interested party, by weaponising the home page of its main product, Google search, to attack the proposal.

It's a shaky rationale, because I highly doubt Google would be threatened or fined if the message was in favor of the proposal. Corporations have free speech or they don't, pick one.

Where are you deriving the notion that Brasil grants corporations "free speech"?

Local market compliance. It's part of every OTHER economic sector, get over it.
