I think Gebru is serving two masters. She wants societal change based on critical social justice and at the same time she publishes papers on AI ethics. A conflict of interests, you can't be an unbiased scientist while being a die hard activist at the same time.
CJ ideology says to avoid debating with people of the "oppressing class" in order to not give them a platform, or because language itself is biased, or because the opponents are believed to act in bad faith, while the scientific method requires unbiased, impersonal, open debate. See the quote about "master's tools will never dismantle the master's house" for reference. They also practice cancelling their opponents instead of debating, which Gebru and her cohort tried to do on Twitter.
