That is what someone should be protesting, isn't it? Perhaps the easiest way to help the world avoid the potential problems created by the Google's work is not to work for Google? These protesting employees, whatever the cause du jour, are all in a compromised position. They need/want their jobs at Google. They cannot effectively function as internal watchdogs and regulators. They are not representative of the wider affected population; we do not elect them. Neither Google nor Facebook can be relied on to "regulate itself", whether it comes from top-down decision-making or in response to internal protests.
