You make a couple of good points such as Google's about-face with regard to China, and you bemoan doxxing.

Yet, you bitterly criticize Trump supporters. Trump supporters are the ones getting doxxed and cancelled on social media.

The most famous leaked TGIF was when Pichai announced his opposition to the 2016 election results, and promised to somehow oppose the new President. I have to say, I was appalled to hear such blatant partisanship from the chief executive of such a huge company. Of course, business types have always had political leanings one way or the other, but they were rarely so blatant. That TGIF did irreparable harm to Google's reputation. I've seen hundreds, perhaps thousands, of outraged comments on social media. Google lost a lot of good will that day.
