"My only exception is things I don't like"

How is blocking spam and advertisement materially different than blocking a foreign actor's propaganda?

Blocking spam is done by the consumer of information, blocking a foreign (and domestic) actor's propaganda is done by the entity with the power of dissemination of information.

You don't see Google censoring ads much.

Google spends most of their time blocking ads. "Spam" is ads.

There's nothing in their business they censor more.

In search results?

That is an extremely uncharitable reading of my words
