The same Google that was planning on launching in a country with slave camps for Uyghurs Muslims?
To put it bluntly, hiring a few black people does not make up for Project Dragonfly. I guess the VP you're talking about has decided who's where on the diversity chart, according to his approval of Google's behavior.
- xrd 6y agoI'm open to hearing about this. Link? Edit: oh, you are saying in China. Isn't that whataboutism? Maybe I'm doing the same thing?
- 0xy 6y agoMy point is that diversity and inclusion means not supporting such practices, so the VP is either oblivious/ignorant or knows full well of the double standard -- neither reflect well on him.
- xrd 6y agoI'm really interested in understanding how to differentiate between these two things. It seems like Google does permit internal debate, and fires people when their views are too damaging for the culture. I really, really doubt a lot of people had strong opinions about going into China, and lost to other opinions. That seems really healthy at least. Coinbase seems like it is saying: no internal debate permitted on political things, just purely discussed on whether it makes financial sense. To me, Coinbase seems really lazy.
