A paper from Google saying that Google knows that its systems discriminate against minority groups can open Google up to liability for a class action lawsuit from said minority groups against Google. And the fact that Google knows increases the damages that they can look for.
The same paper from outside of Google also creates liability, but now the argument for increased damages becomes about whether Google knew.
