You saw they called off a Town Hall meeting on diversity because they were afraid portions of it would be leaked? No doubt the plan was to reassure everyone that views like that of Damore (no doubt presented in a skewed manner) would not be tolerated, but that everyone could still speak freely. They now probably fear that they have emboldened those who think like Damore to leak info to the press.
This whole fiasco has shown Google to be a microcosm of life run by the Progressive Diversity Agenda. Chilling if you are not 100% lock step in line.

i think there was also fear of alt-right doxing, officially
however, i think the real reason they were worried about the town hall was because of what would actually happen in the town hall. if some employees asked difficult questions, Google could look TERRIBLE. what happens if a genuine employee asks a neutral question that crosses some line with a small population? and Google fires him? or if Google doesn't fire him?
i think Google realized they were walking a fine line and could look like legit authoritarians. so they have to cancel an uncontrollable event like a town hall and will handle it in a very controlled way.
