Bit of an unbalanced article.
Whenever politicians, especially "controversial" ones say or do something, news articles happily provide "context" in the form of other things they've said or done that might anchor your perception of this latest thing.
Here, the anchoring wrt Timnit Gebru goes so far as:
Dr Gebru, whose firing led to an international wave of criticism of Google and widespread support from her colleagues
So, only criticism of her firing then?
Yet I recall a post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25292386 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25292386
Google doesn't consider that they fired her; She posted an ultimatum and they accepted it as a resignation.
It's also not clear if 'encouraged to make use of "therapy resources"' is the same as medical leave, which is what the article purports to be about.
