Google is no longer competing for a Pentagon cloud-computing contract worth up to $10 billion, saying in a statement that the contract may conflict with company principles.
A Google spokesman said in a statement obtained by Bloomberg that the company is "not bidding on the JEDI contract because first, we couldn’t be assured that it would align with our AI Principles."
"And second, we determined that there were portions of the contract that were out of scope with our current government certifications," the spokesman added.

Can Google’s Dave Hogue say, “Standard Oil?”
Time to bust up Google....The outfit has gone rabid and is EVIL.
Google has always pretended to be non-partisan but was secretly left wing. Now they are becoming overtly, openly left wing. Their sinister activism in the form of selective censorship will get them broken up, I hope. They deserve it.
How ‘bout the people handling the DOD account need a security clearance and there were none that could pass?
They’ve already said they won’t work any AI projects for DoD or Pentagon.
Like the censorship, tracking and spying of the individual aspects of Dragonfly?
Like this isn't true for any other Silicon Valley or publicly traded IT firm ?

Sure it is, but Google leads in not submitting to US communication regulation, and Google has a clear record of subversion of freedom in many countries, as enabled by the State Department under Clinton.
The DoD is trying to entice them to just build a network, no classified data needed. Even that’s too much for leftists to contemplate because if it helps America then they oppose it.
I would think they are a national security risk for starters...
They think that Freedom of Speech needs to be controlled, govt censorship is good, alliances with totalitarian regimes are good business...
Probably for the best. We don’t need evil google stealing state secrets.
They probably had to because of Chinese requests to do so in favor of the Chinese service.
The Chinese do not want anything to do with anyone who supports any government but theirs. And they do it effectively.
God, I miss action movies. But since the Chinese have paid for them all with calls to show America as impotent or evil, They are gone.
That’s a bit of an oversimplification, but was mostly true during cloud technology’s infancy.
Modern clouds provide elastic compute resources and can offer platform, operating systems, and applications as a service.
Yes the contract may conflict with googles anti American principles.
Regardless of how “elastic”, it is still someone else’s server, under someone else’s control, at someone else’s location and in someone else’s building
Fine. You’re right. You’re sooo right. You’re completely right, and a computer genius.
DU def doesn’t have a monopoly on internet dopes.
...saying in a statement that the contract may conflict with company principles.
Even though they have none? Only a narrative and an agenda?.
And as a cybersecurity architect, your attitude is exactly what I face every day and have to constantly fight against. Extra precautions have to be taken to make cloud secure
-because-
It is someone else’s server
Exactly. I try to explain that all those things—platform, operating systems, applications, communications—are commodities.
You don’t own your own power plant, even if you use 100s of kilowatts of electricity a day. Let those who do produce power concentrate on doing so and at a massive scales; we all buy some as we use it.
Put Google through divestiture hearings!
