#3Nowadays I take a look at the person's Twitter after reading their resume, just to see if they'd be more trouble than they're worth. I've passed on several candidates over the past few years because of the utterly imbecilic stuff they posted online. Why Google is not doing the same is a mystery to me. They already run background checks, and political affiliation, for better or worse, is not a protected class. Go be an activist somewhere else.

#9Management's perspective on these issues is (rightfully) along the lines of "if we don't do it, someone else will, so might as well be us".
I think it takes a special amount of privilege to be paid a lot of money and not wanting to sacrifice your principles in today's world.

Why not? Everything is up for negotiation. If the employees are that in demand, then they will have a “privileged” voice. If not, they will get terminated and not matter.
