Based on what I'm reading here, firing somebody that early in their career is cold and Google deserves all the criticism it is getting lately for basically being a combination of tone deaf, insensitive, overreacting (or shall we call it panicking?), and biased to doing things most of their own people would simply characterize as "the wrong thing". In jurisdictions outside the US, this kind of random act of corporatism could end up being very expensive. Firing people without good reason is a not a thing that holds up in court and this looks like it doesn't stand much scrutiny.

Also, this seems like it is policy rather than an isolated incident. I'd suggest fixing it by maybe correcting people up the food chain. Google is a long way away from their don't be evil motto when they were young, naive, and producing lots of cool new products and services because they weren't held back by corporate idiotism and political correctness.
