There is some really high quality internal discussions at tech companies, unfortunately they are suffering from leaks due to their size and media have realized it’s really easy to just take their internal content and publish it.
It really sucks because there’s definitely a chilling effect knowing any personal opinion expressed in text at a big tech company could end up in a headline like “GOOGLE SAYS <hot take>” because of a leak.
If there is some kind of really bad behavior being exposed, I think the role of the media is to help do that. But I don’t think their role should be to expose any leaked internal document they can get their hands on.
- UncleMeat 3y agoThis is exactly that. This doc is apparently a leaked internal doc.
- opportune 3y agoI know that, my point is that it’s not indicating anything nefarious enough to be worth exposing, it’s just juicy. I don’t think the media should share stuff like this just because it’s interesting. They’re making a market for corporate espionage to sell clicks.
