There is a team called Community Policing at Google that sends requests to take down memes. If you don't comply they complain to your manager and HR. The folks running this team are super-woke and totally unaware of things like historical racism (like in Europe) while bending over backward to accomodate their favored groups.

It was much better when memegen was a force for positive google culture, such as when somebody exposed just how bad hello.com's static content was or how dumb google+'s policies were.

How do they cope with the current memes regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war? Some of them are (quite literally) fairly visceral.

I would expect Google to have a non-negligible Russian and Ukrainian community.
