On a related note, what does "internal memo" mean here? Did he forward this to a few coworkers who spread it or cc the whole company or what?

Posted on Google's private Google+ instance (which is very active). Pretty much like sharing it on an internal mailing list, or on Slack.

Seems like it must have gotten a few reshares to go viral enough for somebody to feel the need to leak it. I don't think we really know how widely it was read before it leaked though -- it might have been a big raging controversy inside Google, or it might not.

Stories say it was intentionally spread in large public forums.
