It's egotistical and selfish to speak for and expect such a large company to change for their minority opinions. You can't control Google but you can control yourself.
- etchalon 3y agoYou're essentially discounting all major civil right movements as selfish, since all included an attempt to change the behavior of large institutions and companies to accommodate what began as a minority opinion.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoFalse analogy. A company is not a country.
- etchalon 3y agoNational City Lines (famously the operators of the bus Rosa Parks protested on) was a private company.

- lexicality 3y agoHow would you even find out if you have a minority opinion without speaking out? Maybe the company coffee machine starts using new beans and I don't like the taste. No one else is complaining, so should I keep my mouth shut? If I say "hey I don't like this coffee" and everyone else goes "it's fine" then I have to get different coffee. If however everyone else says "it sucks" then maybe it'll get changed back.
- DangitBobby 3y agoWho do you think should take it upon themselves to try to steer an organization like Google away from evil actions? Is there anyone that isn't "egotistical" and "selfish" for doing so? Employees are arguably some of the most visible people to that company and possibly most well positioned to actually make something happen. It follows that if they truly believe Google is being evil, they have a moral obligation to act. Quite the opposite of "selfish" if they do this at personal risk.
