I think there's a large difference between Google leaving china due to hacking vs working as a U.S. defense contractor.
A lot of people look at Google as something more than just a U.S based company and is considered as more of an international company in this regard. So, when Google's parent company decides to align heavily with U.S military, then of course people working in Google, who come from all parts of the globe and cultures, will have a problem.
It would be interesting to see the demographics (age, culture & religious views) of those who openly protested.
I am sure I'd rather distance myself from Google if it continues to support U.S military contracts and the perfection of killing others.
