not a good look for Google

——
A video recorded by Google shortly after the 2016 presidential election reveals an atmosphere of panic and dismay amongst the tech giant’s leadership, coupled with a determination to thwart both the Trump agenda and the broader populist movement emerging around the globe.

These individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled influence over the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations of Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the Trump agenda.

Co-founder Sergey Brin can be heard comparing Trump supporters to fascists and extremists.

People -even CEO’s- are allowed to have political views.

It is indeed possible to have political views and still be able to conduct your job without bias. I don’t exactly turn away republican clients.

“.
@google
needs to explain why this isn’t a threat to the Republic. Watch the video. Google believes they can shape your search results and videos to make you “have their values”. Open borders. Socialism. Medicare 4 all. Congressional hearings! Investigate

This is different than just having political views . They pretty much control the internet.

Fascinating to watch them completely lose it.

Sad to see them hold so much contempt for so many of their fellow Americans.


Amazing that a CEO would even hold a meeting like that. He has a fiduciary responsibility to the stock holders and this is the opposite of that.

I was starting to cop an attitude towards Google. This makes me re-think my stance. I'll be more supportive of Google from now on. Thank you for the post. Go Google.

And I doubt every single person at the meeting or that works for Google voted for Hillary .
It’s funny how liberals always talk about being “inclusive “ yet they really aren’t .
Imagine working at Google and having the top brass insulting you and making you seem like you are dumb for your political views .

If that were even remotely true Trump would have lost. Let’s not be stupid here.
