The cynical explanation: 1. We work in tech, and some of us have already developed opinions on Google. We have small worlds and in them some things seem disproportionately large. 2. Most posters are American. Examining how the US state uses violence is never going to be comfortable for them. 3. Decades of misinformation have created a layer of innuendo and whataboutism around acts like whistleblowing and certain kind of political protests. Google is under fire because it simply hasn't yet operated the kind of propaganda machine available to other organs of our economy. 4. People have already been 'primed' to respond to this story by a slow buildup of other stories. Your story hits a blindspot. The good news is that continued messaging, continued posting can gradually overcome that effect if it's targeted at the right people.
