Carrying water for billionaires and trillion dollar companies is a common thing on HN.

So many threads are "Trillion dollar company did a shitty thing" ... "Yes, they have every right to do that, you shouldn't complain and it's your own fault since you should have known better and stop whinging on HN about it".

At least in this case, they may be Google employees.

Or, uncharitably, people being paid to minimize negative press and stymying discussions.

Oh, wait, you already mentioned Google employees. My bad.
