Silicon Valley’s Right Wing Is Angry And Punching Back

BuzzFeed (07/15/2019)
  • Some of Google’s right-wing employees are leaking memos allegedly proving that the company intentionally makes liberal-leaning content (ie Google search results, YouTube videos) more prominent on its platforms.
  • Over the last two years, Google’s conservative staff has voiced its frustration with the company on Blind, Google’s internal employee-only anonymous forum.
  • These employees resent Google and its staff for openly supporting supposedly left-leaning initiatives such as diversity and inclusion.
  • The goal of the leaks is to encourage Congressional Republicans to investigate Google’s business practices.
