Anyone who’s been inside a tech company office is aware of the constant leftist political soap-boxing from employees and leadership. Activists are complaining that for the first time ever they are restricted from championing a left-leaning issue on employee-facing forums.

For those who prefer to focus on product development (i.e. “work”) , this restriction is a welcome reprieve from the near-constant virtue signaling and propaganda that distracts from getting work done.

Context matters here. media are positioning this as censorship, when in fact it’s one issue among dozens throughout the year where the activists have been “throttled”. If anyone is being censored, it would be the employees who would rather just work during the day and keep politics outside of the office.
