Re: Voltaire "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." [Tibbsy]

It is a terrible quote because it is just to broad to have meaning. I mean I own you because I am sure there is something you will criticize that will piss me off and you to me. It's just a cowardly statement, "If anyone holds me responsible for what I say then they are making me unfree and are poopy heads! "

We've got a disconnect. You are talking about the quote in the context of Google punishing. I'm talking about the quote in the context of culture, religion, government, etc doing the punishing.

Of course the quote has little value if applied to your employer. But that's not "ruling over you", that's a 2 party agreement for services and remuneration which can be terminated by either side at will.

Our culture has created sacred cows, ideas that are not to be criticized. It was our culture that punished the guy. Google was just the middleman.
