Google has fired roughly 20 more staff the company says participated in protests denouncing an Israeli cloud contract several days after CEO Sundar Pichai told employees in a companywide memo that they should not use the company as a “personal platform” or “fight over disruptive issues or debate politics,” The Washington Post’s Gerrit De Vynck and Caroline O’Donovan report. An activist workers’ group says the total number of workers fired in the past week over the issue to more than 50. A spokesperson for Google confirmed it had fired more workers after continuing its investigation into the April 16 protests, which included sit-ins at Google’s offices in New York City and Sunnyvale, California.
