Don't they have something about "organizing the world's information and making accessible"? Here's a guy saying it's not that great to suppress view points or hard scientific facts based on dogma, that this damages Google like it would damage any other group or company, and -- he gets fired and many people distort what he actually wrote. The relationship between Google and "information" seems to kind of complicated. This is like a chef you see putting dirt into a meal; maybe they cook tasty things most of the time, but if they're a good chef, why are they ever doing something as "anti-chef" as that?
- andyjohnson0 9y ago> organizing the world's information and making accessible That's a corporate business objective. It doesn't give every Google employee the right to publicly say what they want, when they want, using company systems, and when engaged in their job.
- falcolas 9y agoI find myself repeating this a lot: According to the original coverage, his (and other Google employees') opinions on the topic of diversity in hiring was requested. He originally put his response up on a group explicitly created for this discussion. He never sent it to Google at large - someone else did that in outrage at his opinion. Just as someone else leaked it from being internal to Google to the media.
- thinkfurther 9y ago> to publicly say what they want, when they want, using company systems That just makes you another person distorting what happened. I know I'm correct, I don't need further proof, but thanks.
