Is this a precedent that Google or any company wants to have, though? Engineers with access to company-wide tools or extensions can put political or divisive content into them? This is more than just a "poster in the cafe" because of the reach and invasiveness of the approach. Disclaimer: I work for Google, speaking for myself only. |

Google is free to pull the tool or change the documented process. (I admit, the process seems lax.) Instead, they fired the employee. That’s an aggressive response.
> the reach and invasiveness of the approach
It’s a pop-up generated when one visits the site of the “firm that Google hired this year amid a groundswell of labor activism at the company”. That sounds like a reasonable scope.
Again, using a tool whose entire purpose is to serve site-specific pop-ups.
