Are you saying that someone that Google hired as an AI ethics researcher should not be allowed to disagree with an AI practitioner on matters of AI ethics, and should be canceled for expressing an opinion?

What happened to diversity of thought, academic freedom, free speech as a civic virtue and not simply a restriction on government action, and all those other things this community normally stands for? Just yesterday we saw the NLRB rule that Google had illegally fired workers, and we were talking about how the big tech companies use their power to suppress internal dissent and it's bad. How did we forget that so quickly?
