Large coorporations look a lot like governments. Normally, I bring this up from the perspective of regulations (eg. we should be willing to restrict the power of large private actors in the same ways we restrict the power of governments). However, I think it is applicable here too.

If you don't like something the US government is doing, you generally aren't going to leave. You are either going to ignore it, or try to change it. Even if your employer is the Federal government, few people would expect you to quit. If your problem is with the exact portion of the government where you are working, then some might expect you to quit but few would bat an eye if your next job happened to also be with the federal government.

What is happening here is akin to being forced out of government work for critizing the government; and we do not accept that behaviour.

Google is (thank god) not the government and this analogy is bogus.

One issue is that while internal behaviors may mirror the situation isn't that comparable. Starting a new government in competition with your own another's borders is generally known sedition. Governments are defined by their monopoly on the use of force. Not so for even large corporations.
