That seems pretty clear. Verge title is kind of clickbait by using `Google Contractors` rather than `Randstad` though.
The "and/or" in "it sounds like Google and/or its contractor may have been taking some extreme and unsavory shortcuts to cash in." is clearly use of weasel words, the journalist was unable to substantiate the allegation that Google was aware of this unethical practice. Sloppy reporting demonstrating a lack of journalistic integrity.
- ehsankia 7y agoThat's still much better than the original source (NY Daily Times) which literally just says "Google".
- lonelappde 7y agoOutsourcing work is not a justification for outsource responsibility. Google has a choice.
- cwkoss 7y agoThat's why it would have been great if the Verge did some journalism so we actually had some clarity on the situation.
