Full title: Exclusive – Harmeet Dhillon: Silicon Valley ‘Actively Trying to Blacklist’ Conservatives ‘Through Some Hiring Engines’

Harmeet Dhillon, a San Francisco-based attorney representing former Google engineer James Damore in his class-action lawsuit against Google, joined SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight on Thursday to tease information about a burgeoning blacklist of conservatives among Silicon Valley-based technology companies. She told Breitbart News Senior Editors-at-Large Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak that some of her clients have been “blackballed” by “supposedly neutral hiring platforms.”

Dhillon said, “I’ll have some troubling developments next week about people’s job searches and how I believe Silicon Valley companies are actively trying to blacklist people through some hiring engines. Some of the top companies that do the hiring, matching people with jobs and job seekers, are blackballing people who talk out. That’s a developing new story.”

One of the things that I know as a tech lawyer in Silicon Valley is that every tech company, including clients of my firm … are scrambling to comply with European privacy guidelines that are coming into effect very shortly, and yet, all the effort on their lobbying front is to make sure that the same privacy guidelines don’t occur here in America. I don’t think Americans are fully aware that A) these companies loathe conservatives, many of them, and mistreat their employees who are conservative, and B) while their motto is ‘Don’t Be Evil,’ they are, at the same time, advocating that the same privacy rights that people in foreign countries have with respect to their products do not exist in America.”

Dhillon commented on technology firms’ lobbying efforts in Washington, DC. She said, “They have a carefully crafted facade of being a neutral company. … D.C. is a swamp, and every single member of Congress or senator I know is constantly in fundraising mode, and tech companies are writing them checks.”

And that’s why I don’t have a Facebook account nor publish political screeds using my name...

So they’re blocking us from getting jobs too.

They laughed when I said that the left wants to eliminate Whites/Christians, after taking all their money first.

There needs to be lawsuits based on fraud and misrepresentation. And legal penalties enacted.

I have a step-son whose brother is an attorney and is currently working for Google in the SV. Only been around him one time, and that was at an Italian venue where my step-son was to be married.

One evening I overheard this brother talking to his girlfriend about conservatives. Long story short: the gist was that conservatives are crude oddities, they exist , and he’s only met ONE...which was one too many for him.

Yeah...he fits the mold for that lifestyle.

Did I mention he is also a pencil neck?

Liberalism is a cult. It is for those with various mental illness.

If you are a conservative working at or for a Silicon Valley company you learn to keep your mouth shut. Otherwise opportunities seem to sort of evaporate.

Also, for years there have been rumors of something called "The Cartel" which consists of Google, Apple, Microsoft, Intuit and possibly other companies. Basically if you had ever worked for one of The Cartel members you would never be hired by one of the others. Even if you left the first company on the best of terms you were effectively blacklisted. I'm convinced that not only does blacklisting happen but that there are various kinds and that it is a very widespread practice. I've known any number of guys whose careers have just died. Some of them ended up in the Arizona desert.

It is not enough to keep your mouth shut. If you want to keep your job you are expected in effect to bow before their false gods.

Stasi.....you have a permanent record containing whispers.
You will not be able to get hired at companies as your resume will be shadow banned as twitter does to people the ceo does not like. You will not get the bank loan you want to start a business or get a home loan.

Many of the tech workers brought here from India brought their affinity for socialism with them. There are enough of them in some areas of CA to affect local elections. I don’t get why people flee a s**t-hole, and then try to recreate it in their new home.

One does not see how the Silicon Valley liberal elite can deliver anything that does not have a government mandate to prevent competition. So far, Facebook has a way to deliver advertisement to gullible people. Conservatives, for contrast, thrive on competition.
