No speech was banned. Google didn't prevent anyone from speaking. They simply withheld their distribution. No one can seem to get this right. Private corporations owe you almost nothing and certainly not free distribution.

In the article it mentions that Google felt pressured by the government to take the content down. Implying that they wouldn't have if it wasn't for the government. I wasn't accusing Google of anything, but rather the government.
Maybe it's not banning, but it doesn't feel right? Google shouldn't have been forced to do that and really what should've happened is that the people that spread genuine harmful disinformation, like injecting bleach, the ivermectin stuff or the anti-vax stuff, should've faced legal punishment.
