Why is this news? Google has dozens of people resign every day. Many of them for polar opposite reasons. If one person resigns because Youtube is censoring too much and another person resigns because Youtube isn't censoring enough, you can't report on only the latter to imply that Youtube's lack of censorship is unpopular with the workforce. This kind of reporting is just flat-out dishonest and manipulative.

- darepublic 6y agoIs it confirmed he left due to the firing of the ethics researcher
- CharlesW 6y agoFrom TFA: “Though he did not mention the firings in his farewell note, they influenced his decision to resign, people familiar with the matter said, speaking on condition of anonymity.”
- kbelder 6y agoSo, no.

- tonfreed 6y agoConsidering I've been quoted in articles as an anonymous source on stuff I don't know anything about, I'm willing to bet no one can confirm why he left except Bengio himself.
- danielscrubs 6y agoJust a bunch of gossip, that allows newspapers to get some ad money. Any newspapers that don’t have this kind of gossip?
