Just once it would be nice if companies were actually held accountable.
- jeffbee 4y agoThat seems like an intentionally misleading sentence structure. The phrase was said by the guy from the navy, not anyone from Google.
- bclemens 4y agoIt doesn't seem misleading at all tbh. Misleading would by "liaison to the military", not "liaison in the military".
- flandish 4y agoWhich, I can argue, makes the statement much much worse.
- jeffbee 4y agoMaybe. But the whole article seems to me to be centered around bozotic behavior by the Navy, not questionable actions of Google. To me the biggest red flag is that they eventually selected "small technology firm" to host the scanned archive, instead of a legit cloud operator like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. That is the most likely point of graft in this process.
