It's just marketing. If you really want to see what the actual "mission" is read the TOS. Google,Facebook,Twitter and co like to boast about their humanitarian and humanist stance, the Apple way, when it comes to their relationship with their users but that's all a lie. The moment the need of their users doesn't match their financial interest all bets are off. The shit-storm triggered by a few outraged online publications and announcers a few month ago is a demonstration of that fact.
Independence and freedom of speech online has a price and "users" are going to find it out the hardway when Google refuses to host their content for political reasons.
People already forgot, that the tech to share content online already exists, it's called RSS and Google,Twitter,Facebook and co want it to go away.
Guess they need to change to "information that we and our advertisers agree with."
Yes, I know they are different companies under Alphabet but it doesn't matter. Google has become a monster and too big, powerful.
