Yes, but cencorship is also politics. What happens if someone just tries to stay apolitical and "work safe" and are still cencored? Any attempt at fighting this will be categorized as "political", "difficult" or worse.

Choosing not to discuss something and being afraid to discuss something are very different in very important ways.

While I'm not huge on having political discussions in the workplace, I also think employers should be accountable to their employees, and I think workplace organization to collectively express displeasure in a way that employers actually feel and are forced to respond to is 100% legit.

Remember when they "censored" the guy who had the gall to write "men and women are a little different" at Google. There's an object lesson here, even if you disagreed with that guy.

#18I'm surprised this kind of speech was tolerated in the first place. Tbh even if it was, I'd do the devil and speak up in a way where I'm identifiable #futurecareerprospects
I admire the courage of the people that do it anyway though.

Why did the Google CEO attend the Trump inauguration then? Isn't that politics?

#20Google Defenders: "Keep politics at home!"
Google: "Google CEO Sundar Picchai has been a fixture at the White House, attending parties and events. He oversaw Google’s $22 million donation to the White House ballroom and its $1 million donation to Trump’s inaugural fund. Brin, meanwhile, has become a Trump supporter."
