I think Google would agree with you. If you're going to share information that (in Google's perception) is wildly misleading, they'd prefer you do it off a domain that doesn't have "Google" in its path. And all of us are free to do that.
I think Google (and the rest of FAANG) is wrestling with the uncomfortable possibilty that they are pawns in several nation-states' disinfo campaigns and they suspect their previous lack of intervention and professional having-no-opinion on questions of fact made everything worse.
It's possible that "Don't be evil" means "exercise control over the things you create." Frankenstein's monster wasn't created evil... It learned cruelty after its creator abdicated responsibility for it and it was exposed nakedly to a cruel world.
