Are we not allowed to discuss the actions of one of the largest tech companies?

The only thing I can think of to say about this is how disconnected people are if they think this is so problematic. How is work supposed to be done if everyone complains, protests and disrupts work? The top comment on the thread right now says as much too.

I see this trend a lot on this site whenever saying anything even slightly derogatory about google. Might be a fun side project to work on to quantify this.
