I suspect many people flag because they are getting tired of the drama, and that many articles submitted are very similar news reports covering the same ground. However this video interview of the memo writer is newsworthy and I think exten

I wonder when Damore will be giving interviews on traditional video media? And I wonder how they will represent it. I certainly hope he gets interviewed by rational people who oppose his views. It appears that Google's YouTube is where

So, are you saying the manifesto writer should be censored, shunned, fired? Should Gizmodo and Google censor all such similar writings and videos from internal and external applications? Is this article violence? Is this article publishing

It says that the files will be removed after 24 hours, or after the first download, so I imagine storage requirements are not going to be completely unmaintainable. It's still gotta cost a bit though.
