Free speech at Google is long since dead. But it didn’t go down without a fight. As the tech giant embarked on its self-described “shift towards censorship”, many employees inside the company spoke out against it — and were rewarded with harassment and discrimination for remaining true to Google’s founding values. Former Google employees tell Breitbart News that felt they were forced out of the company and retaliated against because they stood up for free speech and political neutrality. They describe an atmosphere of bullying, in which far-left “social justice warriors” were allowed to smear and intimidate them with little intervention from the company’s HR department.
While opinion is divided on whether Google plans to intervene in the 2020 election, they all agree that political bias at the company is out of control, with zero tolerance for ideological diversity in internal discussions. The same claims have about the company before, for example in the class-action lawsuit brought against Google by former employees, who allege the company discriminates on the basis of race, sex, and political viewpoint.
It’s not just conservatives who complain about retaliation and harassment at Google — the company is facing similar claims from a female employee who alleges the company discriminated against her for being pregnant. But conservatives at Google say they face a particularly organized, relentless kind of harassment.
On July 30, 2015, a Google engineer shared a blog post called “If you think women in tech is just a pipeline problem, you haven’t been paying attention” on the company’s internal “Industry Info” forum, a mailing list with over 25,000 subscribers. The post, which argued that under-representation of women in Silicon Valley was primarily the result of discrimination, generated intense debate, with over five hundred replies in just four weeks.

Is it Google or that Nutjob running it ?
“Google’s founding values.”
Free speech for me, but not for thee. Nothing’s changed.
Oh puh-leeeeze. It "intervenes" every day, in every search, and it always has.

US social media has an emerging NOMENKLATURA system, and if your name is on the LIST of Thought Crime Persons, then it's okay for everyone to publicly threaten you with DEATH.
Uh, when was google ever politically neutral and pro-free speech? Just asking for a friend.
Thought the company’s moto was always “be evil”.
Break up Big Tech.
Start with Alphabet. They are by far the most dangerous.
Once they are eviscerated - both Google and Youtube - then move on to Facebook and Twitter.
Nice link, that’s one movie I will see FOR SURE.
It is on! A full press by the communists to destroy Trump and force socialism/communism on America. Our last hope is the voters to retain Trump in 2020 or America is lost.
I read the article. How do people at Google get any work done?
Anybody whose motto is “do no wrong”, is intent on doing wrong. It just took a while to build up the business and put the real intentions into practice.
“Do no wrong” is the same kind of thing that democrats do all the time: do and say the complete opposite of what they really mean and intend. Even the word ‘democrat’ is the opposite of what they really are.
Eh? Are you trying to say the most ethical administration evah was anything but?
Next you’ll be trying to convince us that the most transparent administration evah wasn’t!
Their motto was not “Do no wrong,” it was “Don’t be evil.”
Proof they planned on being evil from the very beginning.
