Google dumping them doesn't infringe on their right to free speech in any way whatsoever. They are still free to say what they want, they'll just have to get some other company's help to get their hateful message to their followers.

If you owned a bakery, and someone came in wanting one of those fancy cakes made that has a picture 'printed' on it, with a swastika and a picture of a lynched black man, would you consider a "massive PR gain" for your shop that you "did the right thing" and made them the cake? Or would you say "the first amendment supports your right to have such a cake made, but doesn't require me to be the one to make it for you" and tell them to find another bakery?
