Google exec suggests Elizabeth Warren is misguided and only big tech can prevent "the next Trump situation"

A new Project Veritas report includes an undercover video, leaked documents, and statements from a whistleblower that all paint a grim picture of Google's apparent lack of fairness, and its bias.

Google's now a very powerful company, and that's upsetting both sides in the US political divide.

As a consequence, many politicians are looking for ways to contain that power – either by applying antitrust or some other type of legislation against the company.

In the comments recorded in an undercover video, Google's Head of Responsible Innovation, Jen Gennai, cheerfully and not without a hint of hubris acknowledges that Google has been called to appear before Congress many times – but simply chose to ignore those invitations.

  'Twas scummy content then, it's still scummy content now [soylentnews.org].
  It's nothing new, the fucking non-story the brain-let-free-over-weekend eds pushed was published on the linked shyte site in June 24 2019 - go check the date if you don't believe it.

  ** _{If it's not self-evident already, let me put it in clear: letting aside aristarchus is right ^{(the only way he can be right-leaning)}, in the matter of style, nobody can beat the magister's whinging, he developed his along at least two millennia of practice.}

  From that submission,

  I think reasonable people would say, at a minimum, posting illegally-obtained material to the internet warrants a ban.

  So the Pentagon Papers and everything Wikileaks published and every leak that comes out of Washington shouldn't be published? Every reporter in the free world would disagree with you and martyb
