Are they? Ranking Digital Rights’ funders appear to be listed here, no mention of Google: https://rankingdigitalrights.org/who/partners/ (also worth noting that index seems to rank on "public commitments and disclosed policies" not actual practice/business model)

The Ranking Digital Rights project receives no funding from companies it ranks and its rigorous and objective methodology is open to your inspection. If you see a bias in the criteria or how they’re applied, they’d definitely love to know. But please look closer before judging.

Would you do a ranking/report about public health with Philip Morris and Monsanto on top positions too? Even if Google “is doing a great work for privacy and free speech” (mostly for PR reasons), their core business model is violating it. Just admit it.

About my previous metaphor: Philip Morris could do all the best efforts to enhance public health*, their core business model is to kill people… — * Actually, it’s what they do with their “smoke-free” bullshit…
