A comment on Reflecting on 18 Years at Google. Parent comment
To the degree his rant deals with facts - like claiming someone did or did not do a thing, that's at least possibly actionable.
But the opinions are not actionable as defamation.
So for example:
"bob murdered someone" - actionable
"i don't like bob" - not actionable.
Depending on what gets said, etc, it may be actionable as something other than defamation.
