A lot of strong opinions here based on one vague article. The CEO says the plaintiff was fired for violating a workplace violence policy. Obviously the court disagreed. Why? The lessons for the wider world will be found in the case details

Doubtless the image search is using the same algorithms and pulling images from articles. Google doesn't know what you're "really" looking for. It just knows you searched for "white inventors," and the reason y
