> Google is choosing to not take the Federalists money and doesn’t want to put up Federalists billboards on its property.
That's factually incorrect. You have it backwards: Google was giving The Federalist money to advertise digital billboards on The Federalist.
Do they have the legal right to do so? Perhaps, at least until they're declared a utility and regulated, but this probably requires a lawyer to answer, because in some cases political opinions are protected in California.
Now a question for you: do people have the right to be outraged about it, and frightened by the threat Google poses to free communication and thus democracy?
