Let's suppose for sake of argument, that you would like to appeal to a benevolent, anarcho-socialist government about Google's actions. You would not be covered by freedom of speech in that instance either. Or be a victim of censorship

Why are you so angry? And why don't you understand that the only rights you can claim protection from, are the ones related to government actions? Whether or not you agree with the idea of government as a way to come to terms with the fundamental dichotomies of the other. That is, Johnny's mom won't force Johnny to play with you if Johnny doesn't want to.
In this analogy, Johnny's mom represents capitalist opression bypassing in counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor
Freedom of speech means that the government shouldn't arbitrarily keep you from expressing yourself in the way you see fit.
Censorship happens when the government supresses certain forms of expression.
Neither of these situations apply to this case. Google - as a non-governmental entity - can freely decide where to advertise and where not to advertise. And nakedcapitalism can freely decide if they wish to continue publishing certain content without Google or stay with Google Ads under their terms and conditions. No one is forcing either side to do anything.
Would you have the government intervene and force Google to advertise on a site they disagree with? Now that would be arbitrary
Not use it, as much as I don't use all my other numbers

Agreed. People don't take into account the fact that historians have existed for a long time and probably would have noticed a person as revolutionary as the one mentioned in the gospels - miracles or not. The Romans were excellent record keepers, and that is how we know for a fact - for example - that Herod's timeline does not jibe with the virgin birth myth, nor did the Roman survey methodology jibe with the Bethleham journey myth, to cite two examples among so many others
Silly me - wondering if there was a contemporary, unbiased historian who maybe could have heard of him
By truth do you mean that Santa doesn't exist, that the whole Christmas celebration is an adaptation of Roman pagan traditions, or that Jesus never existed?

An effective vaccine reduces numbers across the board. As mentioned in the article you cited, "Vaccine effectiveness is a measure of how well vaccination protects people against health outcomes such as infection, symptomatic illness, hospitalization, and death."
That is, fewer people get sick, and fewer sick people develop symptoms, and fewer symptomatic people are hospitalized, and fewer hospitalized people die.
It seems that @HMH would like all those numbers reduced to zero, which is obviously impossible
Arguing about what type of government best represents what groups of people does not resolve the basic conflict.
Google has a certain philosophy. You may - or may not - agree with that philosophy, but they have a right to have it.
Google also has the right to refuse to do business with other companies that it deems incompatible with its philosophy. You may - or may not - agree that a certain company's philosophy is incompatible with Google's, but each of those companies is free to decide if they do or do not wish to do business with the other.
Nakedcapitalism is also free to decide if they would like meet Google somewhere in the middle or tell them to pound sand.
The idea that you can force two companies to play nicely together when they clearly don't want to, is not a socialist concept. It is an authoritarian concept
