What I recently heard is that there are Google workers actively protesting against Google's involvement with projects connected to US DoD and US Army. What I am not hearing now is Google workers actively protesting against Google enabling censorship and oppression in China. I wonder whether this is an artifact of how news are reported (or how I am consuming new) or a genuine phenomenon? And if the latter, why is that?
- ibrault 8y agoIt sounds like the source for the leak is an insider, although the author is very cautious to tiptoe around saying that. > which is being planned by a handful of top executives and managers at the company This quote also paints it as a very hush-hush project that isn't under development yet, so maybe not widespread internal knowledge?
- smsm42 8y ago> It sounds like the source for the leak is an insider Possible. Then again, why public open protests in one case and a clandestine leak in another? Does it imply protesting some things would be tolerated much easier by the management than the other - like protesting working with US government is OK, but protesting working with Chinese government is risky? > This quote also paints it as a very hush-hush project Possible. Though not that hush-hush anymore, so let's see what happens now.
