It doesn't really matter if google would approve. There are a lot of activities that would not be organizationally approved, but are protected concerted activities and it would be unlawful to fire someone for.

As I said, I don't think any of them should have been fired.

But I don't think glossing "the change went through code review" as "She did it exactly according to internal policy" is helpful.

GP was referring to approval for code review and organizational approval of security extension notifications, not the right to organize or unionizing activities.
