GOOGLE EMPLOYEES PROTEST COMPANY’S PRO-BORDER WALL BOARD MEMBER. EXECS STAND PAT
Google employees are circulating a petition protesting the Silicon Valley company’s decision to appoint a conservative woman who supports President Donald Trump’s border wall to its advisory board on artificial intelligence.
Employees want Google to rescind its decision to include Heritage Foundation President Kay Coles James on the Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC). More than 1,000 “Googlers” signed the Monday petition, which claims that James’s supposedly anti-immigrant positions run contrary to Google’s ethics.
“Google cannot claim to support trans people and its trans employees — a population that faces real and material threats — and simultaneously appoint someone committed to trans erasure to a key AI advisory position,” they claim, noting that James is critical of redefining gender. The petition also pushed back against the underlying reason for Google’s decision.
“This is a weaponization of the language of diversity,” the memo says of the company’s March 26 decision, which was made to diversify the board. James is a black woman who served in the George W. Bush administration. “By appointing James to the ATEAC, Google elevates and endorses her views, implying that hers is a valid perspective worthy of inclusion in its decision-making. This is unacceptable,” it continues. more here
Does Google have security at their campus or can anyone just walk in and use the facilities?
Do you have to go through an interview process to become a “Googler”?
Idiots.
“Google cannot claim to support trans people and its trans employees — a population that faces real and material threats — and simultaneously appoint someone committed to trans erasure…”
Wait. I thought they hated her because of her support for a border wall. What species of “trans” are we talking about…transborderists?
Some thin skins over at Google!

…TransAmericans, @Thirdtwin…
Tell these infantile spoiled brats to grow the eff up.
Like most tech companies, google is rife with extortionists, who use ‘collective bargaining’ to bully their employer. And it works.
My parents instilled in me a basic understanding of hierarchical certainty.:.. my house, my rules, and when you move out and become the force who drives your destiny, you will ascend the hierarchical ladder.
Same analogy applies to employer/employees relationship. Unfortunately, too many employers willingly cede their responsibilities to employees.
When the little screens work no more due to an EMP or some other calamity, these bastards will now be called Chaff, and their thin little hands will find nothing useful to do so they will starve in the Macho new world they are so unprepared for
Why are Google employees so RACIST and SEXIST?
“… implying that hers is a valid perspective worthy of inclusion in its decision-making.”
No view but their’s, no perspective but their’s.
Not sure what’s next, fingers in ears or the floor rolling tantrum.
“trans erasure”
Dafuk is that?
Trump should see about investing her individually and letting her AI model crush Google – both in practical use and market share. The googlers don’t know how business really works – or their AI wouldn’t suggest I buy something Amazon already knows I bought two weeks ago.
“Googles ethics”? Now there’s a contradiction of terms.
We are Google. We have no ethics that we are aware of.
Fuck Google, bunch of virtue signaling hypocritical cunts.
“We have no ethics that we are aware of.”
Greyjohn, I saw what you did there. Heh.
