I work at Google, opinions are my own.

If anything, having your employees spend their time on a internal site seems like a great idea because even their fun time is spent "within" the company. It's not like the alternative is they just don't do things besides work.. the alternative is they spend that time on HN, Reddit, or Youtube

There are also numerous third-party places one could hang out and discuss exactly the same things.

The infamous Border Patrol facebook group comes to mind.

At least Google leadership can see what people are saying.
