An employer does not need to state reasons for firing an employee. Business is just business and it is just capitalism. Google is a business and it is a capitalist system. The employees making noise, should remain silent or else they can be fired for being disruptive.

What a pile of uninformed nonsense. Yes, employers can fire employees for any reason but if it isn't for cause then they can be sued by the employee for wrongful termination. Using the internal forum to voice a concern about the company is not an offense that would be considered for cause by any sane person. If anything, there would be corrective action in the form of a warning, then escalation for each additional infraction up to and including termination.

Google did not take appropriate action and they will have to pony up for their decision on this, I've no doubt.
