I agree, and I am a bit disturbed that it needs to be said.
At normal, non-EA organizations—and not only particularly villainous ones, either! -- it is understood that you need to avoid sharing any information that reflects poorly on the organization, unless it’s required by law or contract or something. The purpose of public-facing communications is to burnish the org’s reputation. This is so obvious that they do not actually spell it out to employees.
Of COURSE any organization that has recently taken down unflattering information is doing it to maintain its reputation.
I’m sorry, but this is how “our people” get taken for a ride. Be more cynical, including about people you like.
