I'm glad not to be working with people like this. I think I really don't want to be working with people who want to push their pet topic on me via a security tool I consented to have installed on my work machine that's supposed to be helpful to me. It would feel like a violation. Not "siding with Google" here. It just definitely would feel like a violation of my trust in the platform engineering team. At that point, I want them to promise not to do it in future, or get their software off my machine. And to be honest, relations are going to be strained between us anyway. I'm not going to be thrilled about any further software. I don't even want reciprocal "I can push to you" powers. And I have no problem discussing these things where we agreed to discuss them. But letting you install software on my machine comes with an obligation - you don't get to use that as a backdoor soapbox. Feels so very icky. Like if a friend told me she would like to stay over and I gave her a key and she decided to plaster my home with posters. It doesn't matter if the posters are against the freaking Holocaust. I'm not pro-Holocaust and I'd want the friend to leave. Pronto.
