It seems like Google is pretty conscious of their own PR, presumably actions like this alert Youtube employees that everything they do isn't in the best interest of humanity.
- NegativeLatency 8y ago> It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. I doubt most of them care. Even if some engineers care, I really doubt that the product team does in a circumstance like this.
- flukus 8y agoGoogle employees work for the worlds largest spyware company. They aren't worried about being ethical.
- Xorlev 8y agoThat's a pretty broad brush you're painting with. Maybe avoid sweeping generalities.
- thisacctforreal 8y agoI agree with the first sentence but not the second. I think a lot of employees are just not taking a step back to look at the sum of the parts they are helping to build, or maybe they have optimism/trust in their leaders to not fuck everyone over, and others might just draw their line further down the sand (e.g. no Pentagon contracts). I imagine a brave few are also working to change it for the better from within. I'd definitely choose to work at Apple instead though, Google seems fundamentally creepy these days.
