Timnit was presented with a privileged and confidential document. That binds her from sharing the information in the document with others. It has nothing to do with the authors of the document or the confidentiality of their identities.
And importantly, in the context of a company like Google, an executive (like jeff Dean) likely has the authority to "unprivilge" said contents, whatever they are.
- xiphias2 6y ago,,Have you ever heard of someone getting “feedback” on a paper through a privileged and confidential document to HR? '' To me it sounds like the person who submitted the feedback to HR was using privileged and confidential communication. And yes, Jeff Dean has the authority, but the HR who got the feedback doesn't.
- joshuamorton 6y agoGiven that Timnit ostensibly does not know who the people who gave the feedback, nor how they did so, and elsewhere notes that she was able to see the feedback, but was told she couldn't share it because it was privileged, can you explain how you reach this conclusion instead of that "to" was a typo in a tweet and instead should have been "via" or similar.
