  • Google is changing Memegen, an internal message board, after arguments over the Israel-Hamas war.
  • The thumbs-down feature, which functions similarly to Reddit, is being removed, as well as metrics.
  • Google said the changes are in response to employee feedback, but some staffers are upset.
