you'll see that the implications of that ruling actually are troubling. I think on the contrary, implying that being troubled by the ruling is equivalent to "defending Google's rights rather than defending individuals' rights" is disingenuous and intellectually lazy.

You can disagree with them, but it shouldn't be hard to empathize here: imagine someone who strongly believes in an American-style right to free speech; surely it's not beyond the realm of possibility that that person can't be both a vociferous defender of individual's rights while also worried about how this ruling will itself erode those rights?
