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.

    Thanks for the rabbithole.

    The submission guidelines [soylentnews.org] and style manual [soylentnews.org] I knew of, but those didn't seem like what you were describing, so I dug deeper.
     
    I thought I might have found what you were talking about on the Editorial Team's page's Editing Process [soylentnews.org] but still I pressed on.

    Then I found the answer buried in the Editorial Policy [soylentnews.org]

    Training

    Before a new volunteer is accepted into the ET they must complete a period of training. While the responsibility for this rests with the EiC [(Editor in Chief)], he can nominate other editors to assist in this task. Editors must not assume that they can conduct training without having first been informed by the EiC that he is content for this to happen. There is no limit to the number of editors that can be nominated to assist in training.

    Having slaked my curiosity I'm off to watch cat videos and such.
