Hundreds of Google employees are calling on the company to pledge it won’t work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It’s the latest in a year full of political and social pushback from the tech giant’s workforce.
A group of employees called Googlers for Human Rights posted a public petition urging the company not to bid on a cloud computing contract for CBP, the federal agency that oversees law enforcement for the country’s borders. Bids for the contract were due Aug. 1. It is not clear if Google expressed interest. The company did not return a request for comment.
More than 900 Google employees had signed the petition by Friday afternoon. Citing a “system of abuse” and “malign neglect” by the agencies, the petition demands that Google not provide any technical services to CBP, ICE or the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which provides services for refugees, until the agencies “stop engaging in human rights abuses.” …

But they’re cool with their company being in bed with the ChiComs...
When will the Google evil bots give up their commie shruggle?
They need their platform pulled, re-classified as a public utility and regulated as such. Either that, or classified as an enemy of the country and totally put out of business. Make an example out of em for the rest of the communist tech shiteheads.
We all bitch and moan, but how many are using gmail?
Concern trolling?
It’s hard to accept that these Googlers, who are supposed to be “really intelligent” are in fact rather stupid.
Are they all workers from foreign countries? They sure are NOT AMERICANS. I expect we will learn in time that they were not all that bright, just capable of “coding.”
What a depressing letdown. Shatters my idea of the super brains these are supposed to have.
Concerns were raised that Google was secretly developing a Chinese search app for Android devices
designed to remove content that China’s authoritarian government does not like. Removing information about:
<><> political dissent,
<><> free speech,
<><> democracy,
<><> human rights,
<><> peaceful protest.
How convenient that Google had already designed that very same search app for Democrats.
Communist China can give thanks to Democrats and to Google.
900. So we have the entity that serves up 90% of search queries ran by 900 radical leftist activists.
A researcher who has spent more than half a decade monitoring Google’s influence said he believes the tech giant will “actively interfere” in the 2020 elections. On Aug. 6, President Donald Trump said his administration is watching Google “very closely.” Dr. Robert Epstein, senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, told The Epoch Times that Google has access to a number of powerful manipulation methods mostly through “ephemeral experiences” that can shift votes. Online ephemeral experiences are brief moments where information is generated instantaneously, such as search suggestions. They are not stored anywhere and can’t be tracked. Leaked internal emails from Google in 2018 found employees specifically discussing launching “ephemeral experiences” to counter Trump’s then-travel ban, The Wall Street Journal reported.
In his congressional testimony in July, Epstein noted that if all major technology companies came together to support the same candidate in 2020—which he said was likely—they could shift 15 million votes without leaving a paper trail. Epstein has discovered a dozen methods Google uses to manipulate public opinion or votes, including search engine manipulation effect and search suggestion effects. “Google will actively interfere in the 2020 elections,” Epstein said. “They’ll actively interfere in their lobbying efforts, they’ll actively interfere with their political donations, and they’ll actively interfere using the online methods of manipulation that I’ve studied and probably other methods that I haven’t yet discovered.”
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, donated $4.7 million to Democratic congressional candidates in 2018, according to FEC records. To Republican candidates, it donated $754,911. In 2016, Epstein conducted a secret monitoring project that showed Google hid negative auto-complete search results for Hillary Clinton months before the election. His peer-reviewed research found Google’s algorithms can easily shift 20 percent or more of votes among voters.. (Excerpt) Read more at m.theepochtimes.com …
=================================
Research Psychologist: "Google Manipulation shifted some 800,000 to 4.6 million votes in 2018"
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 1/16/2019 | Jim Hoft / FR Posted by bitt
In a previous appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Dr Epstein revealed that Google can take a 50-50 split among undecided voters and change it into a 90-10 split with no one knowing they had been manipulated and without leaving a paper trail… It has to do with their search suggestions.
On his latest appearance Dr. Epstein revealed that just one Google shift in search results on Election Day 2018 shifted from 800,000 to 4.6 million votes to Democratic candidates. This follows the shocking Breitbart exposé by Allum Bokhari published Thursday that proves Google has been manipulating search results. Of course the Big Tech companies have been targeting only conservative websites and publications since the 2016 election. Via Tucker Carlson Tonight: (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
SO HOW'D THEY DO THAT? --- (hat tip Trump_the_Evil_Left)
<><> Google Manipulation shifted 800,000 to 4.6 million votes in 2018.....
<><> they manipulated users w/ ads and/or search results to promote liberal/Democrat candidates/issues.
<><> they set “algorithms” to the left's get-out-the-vote activities, etc,
<><> they colluded with the left to tip users exclusively toward lib/Democrat potential voters.
========================================
What we have here....just for starters:
A) a huge unreported “contribution in-kind” to the Democrat Party,
B) social media electronic fraud.

Illegal immigrants can be housed on the Google campus.
They’ll get right on that. Just like the Vatican has become such a sanctuary . . .
I’m thinking that awarding a big government contract for services to one of the competitors—Bing, duck, etc., might be a huge boost to google’s competitors. Especially if it is one of the start-ups. I know bing is Microsoft, which already does a lot of business with the government, and would prefer that the business go to one of the startups. As an aside, the government (at least DoD) prefers doing business with small businesses, if they can do the job.
Google might be arrogant enough to think it will do fine without government contracts, but it isn’t considering second and third order effects. If, for example, duck got the contract for search engine, etc., services, then other people would be more inclined to use it because they would see that as an endorsement.
So, google, go ahead and stop doing business with the government. Your arrogance will be your downfall.
Google is evil.
“We all bitch and moan, but how many are using gmail?”
What’s gmail?
Oh look, another grass-roots movement by the people for social justice.
If I was in charge of Lead for the ICE IT department, I would as why would I want to store my data and Apps in a cloud ran by a company that I can not trust?
It is time for the Federal Government to realize it needs it own secure cloud.
But they will work with Communist China..., the country that destroyed Tibet, Tiennamin Square Massacre, and rounds up Muslims for “re-education.” Disclaimer: That last part, I don’t mind so much, but you get the point.
