A story was submitted on this topic. I don't wish to give the right-wing site that published it more exposure, but the top comment [1] is falsely defaming the website and giving cover to Google's deception, and should be corrected. It claims the article misquotes Google, that where they cite "additional nominees must self-identify as a woman, Black/African American..", Google didn't use "must", but "we strongly encourage". While I doubt even "strongly encouraging" is legal (try "strongly encouraging" white candidates), Google in fact did use "must", then silently changed it, probably in response to the publicity. The "must" version can still be seen through the linked archive, included in the story itself. Any journalist worth their salt has by now learned to archive websites, as companies like to alter them, then gaslight us that the incriminating version never existed. It should also be noted that Google's 2022 US workforce is 48.3% white [2], while the US is 57% white [3]. So Google setting caps on an already underrepresented group.
