Wonder when he had his "are we the baddies" moment.
The context was Gaza though, so I mean neutrally surveillance can mean lots of things: security cameras at a convenience store, a security contract for the government or another corporation. What this person was protesting was supporting Isreal and it's war/control over Gaza. The article sort of misses the point and the headlines really kills it.
Funny, but it's more complicated than reductive
The only one abiding by Google’s original Don’t Be Evil motto.
“Earlier this week, an employee disrupted a coworker who was giving a presentation — interfering with an official company-sponsored event,” Google spokesperson Bailey Tomson says in an emailed statement. “This behavior is not okay, regardless of the issue, and the employee was terminated for violating our policies.”
I guess they've gone from 'disruptive' to 'disruption-averse'.
World according to google.
Abetting a genocide? A-OK.
Speaking out against aiding a genocide? FORBIDDEN
Wild how much "don't be evil" Was holding them back, innit?
Sure did take him a long time to get upset about surveillance.
It takes a lot of courage to throw away your job, potentially career and livelihood, for your principles.
Guy worked at Google. Could have basically gotten a tech job anywhere with that on his resume.

I still think that better late than never
Yeah it's hard to shame someone for not springing to challenge their employer on every little thing the moment they become aware of it. Sometimes it takes a bit for things to pile up to the point it's too much.
Nobody was worried when it was happening in the town over
Nobody was worried when it was their neighbor
Everybody lied to themselves when it was their friend
And by the time it came to them there was nothing left but panic and dread.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Ironic with the switcheroo on the last group
Remember the Turner Diaries, on the Day of the Rope they don't kill the minorities or queer folks or other "lesser thans", they kill all the white people who are "race traitors" because they're not also fascists.
You are never safe from them, you're just further down the list than who they're after at this moment.
Respect.

Good for him, but the ruling class has more than enough resources to replace him.
