And it should also be clear that it's not even clear any gag orders have occurred. The entire evidence to support this thesis is:
> @Skud: ok, unless someone tells me otherwise, it looks like google employees who don’t support the names policy have been gagged. #nymwars
> @Skud: @lizthegrey this is your chance to tell me i’m wrong, btw.
Somebody not responding to your tweet is hardly proof employees are being gagged. Here's one idea: maybe Liz doesn't want to be the center of attention on this anymore.
Maybe I misread this, but this seemed the basis for assuming it was a gag order:
>On July 25th (four days ago) she stopped posting on the subject altogether. Looking at her stream, though, I see that she did post, without any comment, a link to a Wikipedia article talking about gag orders.
Further, the poster says liz is a friend, so it seems likely they'd get some response to a direct question if she wasn't gagged.
She posted 46 articles on the subject in less than a month. If you don't call that a crusade, I don't know what is.
Of course, if you're suggesting that she simply got burnt out, that's a possibility. I could understand decreasing the number of essays written on the subject, but responding to a tweet seems like something that she'd do, given her previous crusade.
