(IANAL) One small point to add is that since Timnit was a manager at Google, she also acts as an agent of her employer.[0] With this, there is going to be a higher expectation of conforming with company policies and processes, particularly how she interacts with other individuals inside and outside the company due to her actions having a larger impact on Google's general liability.
