>Before sending it we had a long discussion, designed to be as inclusive and respectful as possible. In particular, we made a fact check Slack room where anyone can contest a factual claim and argue for/against it, then a group of top employees votes on our official opinion.

Oof imagine working there and speaking up from the "other side". I'd just leave tbh. Or just stay silent. There is a reason a lot of people don't want to talk about things like that in a workplace.

Yes, there are a million ways that a person can be targeted for a removal (marginalised, sidelined, or set up for total career destruction) in an environment that's enforcing a narrow, shifting ideological orthodoxy. Any attempt to solicit a countervailing opinion on political matters in high-profile tech companies should of course be met with extreme suspicion, but unfortunately that's likely to lead to the problem getting worse.
