The problem is, she insisted to the world (and presumably to Google as well) that she did nothing wrong here. This is a pretty minor thing to fire someone over - but what other option does a company have, when someone makes it clear that they refuse to behave properly?

Whether or not she behaved properly is what I assume to be contested here.

You could tell them to stop instead of firing them after the first offense.

How are you supposed to trust someone to follow the rules in the future if they won’t even acknowledge they broke them?
How can you expect anyone to be anything but defensive of their actions when you essentially fire them on the spot?
