Banning opinions is rather weak. What makes the internet so great is that everyone has a voice. You can shout anything you want at the world. Every person with either wacky or conventional ideas, generic or unusual tastes, can express his thoughts freely, and even meet like-minded people. When a quasi-monopoly like Google decides to play the thought-police, essentially deciding what is appropriate or not, it somehow takes away that unique flavor from the internet, creating an environment where one feels the need to conform in order to be approved by the powers that be.
