Sounds like past protests and symbolic gestures on other topics were tolerated because those views had no effect on Google's bottom line, or because management agreed with those views. Not on this one, though. When it really counts dissent will not be tolerated.

As little as 5 years ago Google would have been crucified for daring to silence employees and taking action against them for protesting at the office. Today people are generally in support of the action.
