For the most part, Google attracts people that have similar interests and views. Then they mold them to fit the company vision. It's not as if Google keeps its social commentary secret. You know going in what Google, and other companies like it, are doing.I'm sure it can, but I doubt it is going to change someone's view on a nation. It's not as if some guy in Afghanistan is going to go "Eh, I used to like the U.S., but Google's support of gay rights (or whatever other topic) has changed my mind. They are an evil empire." More likely they will already have a negative view of a country and use this (or some other comment/action by a company) to support their view of said country. Why? Google, and companies like it hire people they can mold into a certain type of person. They also tend to attract a certain type of person. Chances are the employees at Google are all (or the large majority) behind this. Generally it is advised that you research a company you are interviewing with. You should know a bit about that company, and if yo find things that you don't like, don't apply with them. If they change during your tenure, you are free to leave.</blockquote>
