Re: Assange shouts at world to stop forgetting him
I think the problem for the employee is that Google has no ability to distinguish itself from his position, so their only option is to fire him to assert their own difference, since, they, by their own machinery, will now be forever linked with his views (it was referred to as "The Google Memo"). Whether any of his observations or assertions were valid is beside the point, the most important thing to Google is not the truth, no matter what it may be, but their ability to manage perceptions, regardless of the validity. I would presume Mr. Assange is in the same business as Google in this respect.
