>>e.g. a restaurant can't kick black people out

Well they can, just not for the sole reason of being black...

>>This isnt criminal law.

No it is Civil Tort law, but that does not mean your rights are completely removed, nor that principle does not apply

>>This is the right a private property owner (say the owner of a bar) has to kick you out. There are some limits on that

Absolutely, and those limits are normally set either by over riding civil / businessl law passed the government, or a contract entered into by 2 parties

The problem with Google and many other online platforms is their ToS (their contract) is sooooooo one side that IMO it should be considered an unconscionable contract thus void and unenforeable.

Also we have things like Truth in Advertising laws, many times these platforms Public messaging, and advertisement in no way match their terms of service

I am fully in support of the right of a private business to choose who they want to do business with. I am not however in favor of allowing business to use marketing manipulation, false advertisement, and unconscionable contracts in the form of ClickWrapped Terms of Service to abuse the public

the "mah private business" defense is a weak one, very weak, and it is telling that people defending the large companies with this defense often times do not support it in other contexts.

Google has every right to choose who it does business with, but it need to make those choices in transparent, and public manner.
