Speak up internally, sure. Externally?
- zhengyi13 6y agoSpeaking up internally is pretty clearly ineffective, and has been since at least the days of the Real Names debacle.
- Wolfenstein98k 6y agoMost activism isn't successful. You would find your way to violence very quickly if a few examples of unsuccessful non-violent activism caused you to justify breaking more and more serious laws each time.
- MattGaiser 6y ago> Speaking up internally is pretty clearly ineffective I suppose it depends on the specific role, but oftentimes your job is to advise, not to win.
- pvorb 6y agoYou can either accept that your words are not heard, or quit.
- crawfordcomeaux 6y agoOr speak out publicly. Always an option.
- johncena33 6y ago> Or speak out publicly. Always an option. Or speak out publicly. Always an option without making any drama and being professional. [FTFY] It scares me that so many people in this thread can't (or unwilling to) differentiate between creating drama and being proferssional.
- Aeolos 6y agoWho decides what is “drama” and what is “professional”? You? Google?
- room500 6y agoGoogle decides for your behavior. And you decide for Google. The person giving you money is allowed to decide whether they want to continue giving you money. Similarly, you are allowed to decide whether you want to continue taking the money.
- Aeolos 6y agoYes, of course! If google is acting unethically then I, as a user of google, want to know so I can hold them accountable. Otherwise having an “ethics committee” is just feel-good marketing signaling at the same level of privacy terms stating how google, the ad behemoth, “cares about our privacy”.
- brown9-2 6y agoWell that’s what academics and research scientists do - publish research and give talks at conferences.
