Lobbying is different. Democracy is for finding how to define common policy, lobbying can be (though not always is) a legitimate part of this. This is different, for example, from refusing to do business with people holding certain political opinion or actively trying to silence them. > Google's tolerance-but-only-for-tolerable-opinions It's not even that. It's "tolerance only for opinion which nobody out of the list of groups that are allowed to object finds objectionable". The groups of course are defined by Google HR politics. So if you are animal rights activist and group in power dislikes you - you're not tolerated and even people in Google that want to hear you can't. If this is "tolerance" then what is intolerance, I wonder?
