CEO Sundar Pichai said, "We have a culture of vibrant, open discussion... But ultimately we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear: this is a business, and not a place […] to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics."

not a place […] to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics.

Then stop forcing your workers to maintain the sorce of those "disruptive issues or debateable politics". I hope someone makes a parody of Google with the Nazis. Akin to the whole "Are we the baddies" skit.

"Look you don't have to like skulls or the mas murder of entire groups or operating and maintaining the machines of those murders. But this is a WORKPLACE and not a college campus."
