It's a bit shocking that 1500 employees isn't 5000% of them.
Anyone know what these employees worked on?

It is impossible for Apple or anyone else "censor" their own work-for-hire. If you are thinking about personally saying something as yourself, and then you change your mind, you are not "censoring" yourself; you're just choosing a different thing to say.
When people use "censor" for things like this, they are just desensitizing others to the threat of actual censorship. Nobody had a gun pointed as De Nero's head, saying that he had to work for Apple and say whatever they wanted him to say. He voluntarily agreed to this work (whenever you see De Nero on a stage publicizing a movie, he is at work ), and I bet he was well paid for it.
Furthermore, I bet whenever De Nero's is off Apple's stage, he's allowed to talk about whatever it was that Apple's corporate mouth did not want to say. How dare you compare this to censorship!
It has always been this way. When I worked in the newspaper biz (2007-2020), the process I saw was that every writer's work was edited in some way. It was usually just for space (e.g. "we need to get these 200 words down to 100 words"; ah, the constraints of physical paper, where you can't just put up a scrollbar), but not always.

placate the plebiscite
If it really does, might that be a good thing? (Or at least no worse than the status quo?) You still get all the benefit of "I voted against $THOSE_ASSHOLES" which is how many FPTP voters vote anyway.
Stop making fun of my life!
We still don't have a general purpose sewing robot. 90% of clothing is finished by hand.
Plants kept growing at most latitudes and almost everywhere at lower altitudes. Just not as fast for 15-20 years. Mammal species ate a lot of tubers and nuts from the trees, which spread seeds that exploded in diversity in the years after the dinosaurs.
Repeal DMCA. 1201 is what effectively mandated product-tying between content and its player.
Once some of the newer deeper wells are shut off it will take a lot of money to turn them back on.
The Supreme Court operates without a code of ethics.
Why should anyone trust anything they say?
"Keeping Tiktok on phones" sounds like someone spending money to induce phonemakers to have the Tiktok client preloaded on new phones. That would, indeed, be hideous and worthy of exposure and scathing criticism.
But instead, it's just about opposing a ban?! That's pretty damn different from "keeping" it.
Shame MISC never took off or we could see 5000 core processors or something ridiculous like that.
The scaling for this new arch in terms of the number of onboard processors is going to be insane though. We might see 32 core processors with 16 big boys and 16 efficiency cores become the norm in a few years. That is huge.
Intel's new server lineup is rumored to be verging on 1000 with 500+ cores already revealed.
Where he once suggested charging gamers for bullets when they ran out in MMOFPS games.
If you can't change your diction with the times you probably should start looking at retirement.
Younger people don't want to deal with the drama of some old guy who believes he is entitled to never change his behaviour around others since he was hired 20-30-40 years ago. Every single time I hear someone say they can't "act like themselves" the "actions" they are talking about are always demeaning of others. Why is that?
When I first started working in the late 1990's the Network Operation Center I worked at had fold-out Playboy posters in the break room - albeit the nipples were covered up with google-eyed stickers. I complained and they were down the next day, and an old guy who started on Sys V became livid. He then started messing with people's food who he thought had "ratted him out". They fired him, and he had the audacity to list us as references.
The folks who are the most problematic in any gig are the ones who don't realize that everyone can be replaced, and refuse to change.
