After cutting his family vacation short to contain the fallout from James Damore’s now infamous internal memo questioning Google’s diversity practices, C.E.O. Sundar Pichai canceled a company all-hands meeting intended to address the escalating scandal. Damore was fired earlier this week, setting off a firestorm of criticism from conservatives. Now, Recode’s Kara Swisher reports, some employees have raised concerns about online harassment after their names and the questions they had submitted for the town hall appeared online.

Hours before the meeting was scheduled to take place, employees submitted 520 questions. Google uses a Web app known as Dory for its employees to submit questions to be answered at Google’s weekly companywide meetings. Employees can see the submitted questions and vote on whether they should be addressed. More than 5,400 employees had submitted 135,000 votes by Thursday morning, Wired reports. The questions ranged from asking how Google could fight discriminatory attitudes toward women to whether Google has a lower bar for hiring diversity candidates to concerns voiced by conservative-leaning employees who believe their freedom of expression is under attack. “We had hoped to have a frank, open discussion today as we always do to bring us together and move forward. But our Dory questions appeared externally this afternoon, and on some Web sites Googlers are now being named personally,” Pichai told employees, per Recode. “Googlers are writing in, concerned about their safety and worried they may be ‘outed’ publicly for asking a question in the town hall.”

Damore was fired on Monday for breaching Google’s code of conduct with his memo, which claims Google suppresses conservative employee viewpoints, suggests that Google’s attempts at increasing diversity may be discriminatory, and that the Silicon Valley gender gap can be attributed in part to biological differences between men and women. He’s since leaned in to his 15 minutes of fame as a symbol fighting what some consider Silicon Valley progressivism run amok, reveling in conservative media praise and appearing in video interviews with two different alt-right personalities this week on YouTube (a platform, somewhat ironically, that is owned by Google). California Republican congressman Dana Rohrabacher waded into the Damore situation this week, expressing his support for the fired employee. “If Silicon Valley continues with its illegal hiring practice Congress must investigate #googlememo,” he tweeted on Thursday.

In a new profile picture for what appears to be his Twitter account, Damore is sporting a T-shirt with the word “Goolag” written across it, apparently a suggestion that Google is akin to a Soviet prison camp. In an interview with Bloomberg, he claimed that Google management is conducting a witch hunt against employees with dissenting political beliefs. “I shared [the memo] with many of our diversity programs and with individual Googlers but no one higher up ever came to me and said ‘don’t do this,’ ” he said. “It was only after it got viral that upper management started shaming me and eventually firing me.”
