Google also had a head of culture. I'm willing to bet that didn't last long before the SJWs took over that post. They tend to be drawn to those sorts of jobs.

Google's been a household name since like 2003.

That said, I have no evidence of that either way.

For awhile, they weren't beholden.

I think Gamergate was the death knell

I remember this appearing at the time

And it being a VERY new dark direction for Google

Maybe they were always lowkey like this

But there was a sharp pivot in public image after this.

I don't think anyone can deny that Gamergate changed everything, permanently.

Oh jeez. I just looked up Google Ideas. *shiver*

Google playing geopolitics. Literally.

We *live* in the cyberpunk dystopia.

Anyway, Google Ideas (now Jigsaw) was originally designed to fight censorship. But now does things like automatically sort out 'toxic comments'

We live?

No sir..

that statement by sundar pichai denouncing james damore

gave me shivers

what a shill

Say Earthlings while you're at it, you fuck.

@pratel yeah cyberpunk kinda snuck up on us didn't it

Yeah, we're even getting to the point the global megacorps running the governments vis a vis censorship.

without the leather and mohawks we just didn't see it coming

All that's left is the robot bodies and transhumans.

But that's coming.

SK hit Shadowrun tier already, with the shadow cabal and cult puppet PM

google gonna even create a separate search engine for China with censorship according to the whims and wishes of the chinese govt

what are even ethics?

are they doughnuts?

If people don't have ethics in their personal lives, why should the megacorps?

I was in a big argument in here the other day

With a guy who didn't care enough about the diversity horseshit at his work, because hey, wasn't it his problem. Yet.

If guts can't be talked into YOU, why would it be applicable to higher ups?

Lol we're back to "if you won't get fired because of diversity shit you're not ethical"

Oh look

Someone proving my point.

Go piss a rope.
