The GitLab policy was meant to stop ideologically motivated employees from sacrificing the reputation and interests of the company for their own personal political objectives. Of course, enough other compainies have already been taken over by allied ideologues that they pressured GitLab into allowing politically motivated behavior.
- chickenpotpie 7y agoObeying a government order is also a political statement that you support that government. GitLab is an international company, they don't owe an allegiance to one specific country. One country might tell them to do something and another one might tell them to do the opposite. They're going to have to pick and choose sides sometimes.
