> his farewell email did not mention that at all, and AFAIK he hasn't made any public statement indicating that that was the reason he left.

Why burn bridges?

You can't both protest something and not burn bridges at the same time. You have to choose one or the other.

One can protest something without going scorched-earth. The act of leaving, which deprives Google of his talent and experience, may have been protest enough.

So he didn't want to burn bridges, and told Reuters?
