“puritanical Christian policies”
Based on the people I know who work at Google mountain view, and more general descriptions of the google workforce, “christians” are rare (or in hiding), I don’t think you can really blame them for those policies :)
But I agree with your overall point
- numpad0 4y agoI understand the word choice, it is rampant throughout the Web, and also coincidentally I cannot think of a better description. Maybe the corporate culture embeds it, or the behavior is used as a performance indicator.
- ethanbond 4y agoYeah obvious example is nudity rules which are enforced just fine by completely secular people even though they’re likely derivative of puritanical Christian culture in the US
- JackFr 4y agoReviews can be measured on a number of relevant dimensions - positive/negative, useful/not useful, fair/unfair, etc. Vocabulary, grammar, spelling, typos are all information channels. Honestly I can’t believe I’m defending Google, but it’s possible that they’ve determined certain language makes the review less useful. Evidence of that might be the other portion of the review which seemed to trigger the shadow ban without any profanity.
