Sorry, but reality does not work that way. You see, Free Speech is nice and all, but do not forget the saying "Your rights end where my nose begins". Google, and any other company, also has what is called the Freedom of Association. That's something else the First Amendment gives. If Google does not want to associate with these people, they do not have you. They do not have to associate with you. They do not have to associate with me.
In fact, their terms of service spells out what they generally do not like. And if you do something they generally do not like, then they will opt to not associate with you by banning your account. So your right to free speech on their platform is non-existent. You have a privilege of speech on their platform. If yuou do not like it, then choose another service.
It's a ridiculous counter-argument.
Everyone knows the threat of violence was bullshit. That's why the kid was not arrested and charged with a crime. If they had felt the threat was credible, that would have been the result.
Banning them for it is exactly how you react to "jokes" like this.
And I'm putting "joke" in quotes because I don't see how it's even expected to be funny, in any way whatsoever. It seems more like they're just being an abusive and hostile little shit; that they're not actually planning to actually follow through doesn't make it a "joke", it makes it a shitty, abusive lie.
Also, your counter-example is asinine. Either friendly jibes are part of your relationship with your partner and you know it's an expression of love (a factor that is not remotely in place with this shithead kid's shithead conduct), or what you're describing is textbook emotional abuse. Which is not a fucking "joke".

I have to say one thing about this website: The fascist-apologists who pretend to be "right-wing free-speech advocates" are among the whiniest, least-honest,and least ethical people I've ever had the displeasure of conversing with. Every single one of you is a waste of natural resources and I look forward to you eventually hitting adulthood and growing out of your anti-democracy temper tantrum.
the repeated school shooting by kids her age makes the "its just jokes" claim sort of weak since she very well could

its cute you think that will happen
the ship to make that happen sailed when Trump appointed Ajit Pai to the FFC and he worked to claim the internet wasn't a public utility
once that happened, trying to claim that websites using it are regulatable like some public good, but the access to them isnt became an unwinnable legal argument vs the shaky one it would have been before
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.

Tbh i enjoy the rightists suddenly wanting to regulate a private business. It shows thier whole thing about being for private business rights a bit back was only about being dicks to lgbt people.
The problem with the "she's just a child" line of argument, to play devil's advocate for a sec, is that people will use that to try and evade punishment by using her (and others) as the "front" for their political messaging.
Which is arguably exactly what's happening, here.
Really, she's posting this stuff to the public. That warrants public response. You say her age means people shouldn't be responding this negatively, I say that it was always gonna happen, and her parents shouldn't have let her post this stuff in the first place, for exactly that reason. Instead, it looks like they rolled her in BBQ sauce and staked her out and waited for the wolves to attack, so they could act all aghast at how dangerous the wolves around here are. Let's focus on them using her as bait, I think that's the more relevant issue here.
The upload ban that's described as a ban in the OP's article and several others about this, that isn't a "ban" because of some super-secret special definition you made up in your own head based on a desire to claim I'm wrong based on nothing at all?
And I'm the "ridiculous" one?
I love her videos, and the fact that a little girl triggers the sjw.

Shes woke AF, these poor neckbeards of course would be triggered.
