This remind me of the Streisand effect. I feel like more people are being exposed to the fired engineer's opinion as a result of Google (and even the media) trying to discourage his views.

Rather, more publicity of exactly this sort, is desirable, to make it clear that this type of thing is (1) nonsensical, and (2) (more importantly from fire-your-ass-from-google point of view), unacceptable.
