Google has removed the original video from youtube over a "privacy claim" and have disabled responses on this medium post.<p>It makes it hard to give Google the benefit of the doubt when their stance seems to be "stop talking about it", instead of addressing the content of the video.
It would be nice if she’d elaborate on the comments she made, particularly where the “imprecise” language was —- what was she trying to say at the dinner? There were many long runs of commentary without opportunity for deceptive editing.
For context, this is the report she’s talking about: <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/06/24/insider-blows-whistle-exec-reveals-google-plan-to-prevent-trump-situation-in-2020-on-hidden-cam/" rel="nofollow">https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/06/24/insider-blows-whis...</a>
I'm no fan of James O'Keefe, but some of the direct quotes are much more incriminating than this response makes them out to be:<p>> “Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google. And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation, it’s like a small company cannot do that.”<p>She may have "used some imprecise language" but I have no doubt that many Google employees do indeed feel like they should use their company's influence to prevent "the next Trump situation."<p>Also, there's no way she wrote this on her own. Google's PR machine is very proactive, and the enormous collection of messages she received when she landed undoubtedly included a stern warning not to say anything more in public. She may have written part of this, but at the very least it was a team effort.
What a lame excuse to be completely honest. The Project Veritas video clearly isn't edited like she claims it is, she is downright admitting to redefine what "fairness" means so it is the opposite. The video clearly shows creepy slides on how google plans to "program" humans, condition them to a certain political viewpoint, even if they have to censor truth...<p>Just split up google at this point...
meh only matter of time until this sort of propaganda idealism is the norm across the valley. lots of sjws justify banning various actors as the right of the private corp. this again falls into that same purview. they can show you whatever selected by an ai trained on whatever rules for whatever social agenda they wish to push -- this has been going on for over a cenury. social engineering becomes more explicit than implicit.
