I don't know if she's released them to the press.
What's your best guess for why she was running a script to exfiltrate a bunch of e-mails related to Gebru?
Mine is it involves releasing them to the press.
- choppaface 6y agoDr Gebru was talking with a lawyer before they fired her. Mitchell was likely contributing to the case because she herself was experiencing retaliation from Google. At this point it doesn’t really matter if it goes to the press or ends up in a complaint—- Google’s retaliation here is illegal. You can’t reproach an employee for simply talking to a lawyer and that’s exactly what Jeff Dean and co did.
- JamesBarney 6y agoTalking to a lawyer != running a script to exfiltrate confidential corporate documents, even if the purpose is to help you talk with a lawyer.
- pseudalopex 6y agoLegal counsel is a common exception to NDAs. Different jurisdictions have different specific rules.
- pseudalopex 6y agoWho said she ran a script to exfiltrate a bunch of emails related to Gebru? The Google statements I saw weren't so specific. She allegedly copied the documents a month ago. The simplest explanation of why they aren't public is she didn't want them to be. I don't think it's useful to speculate about her motives when we don't even know what she did specifically.
- JamesBarney 6y agoThe verge and the observer mentioned it. I swear I also saw it on another site that was more reputable too but I can't remember which one.
