I remember the gender pay gap being used against Trump ... then it was pointed out it's impossible as federal guidelines dictate pay and it's the same for both genders.

It's actually very fact based and reasonable. But it doesn't push the agenda, so it's a huge no-no.
So you agree that since women have some biological differences from men that they aren't equally represented in tech and leadership?
Can you list what those "biological differences" are that would explain the pay gap and a lack of women in tech and leadership? That is, since you think this is a "fact based and reasonable" document?
Thank you kindly.
LOL. You still believe in the gender pay gap.

Excellent, some actual evidence.
I see that Zuckerberg is espousing what could be considered by some to be "extreme leftist" ideas, like a social safety net and equality. Can you show me where he said that only extreme leftist ideas were acceptable at Facebook?
Also, it seems that Christopher Gregory at Bloomberg has an issue with Silicon Valley hiring procedures. Can you show me where he claims that only "extreme leftist" ideas are acceptable at Google, Facebook, etc?
And from your Guardian article ... some people were upset by Mr. Trump's election and talked about succession. Interesting, how does it apply here?

the video is taking too long to get to the point. So far it is just a guys opinion. Anyway Im aware google is being sued by the EU for "showing its products first" in search lists.. The Federal Trade Comission said the same thing about google.
www.google.com...
You can pay companies to alter search results.

google personalizes search results..

Anyway there have been times that I knew what I was looking for and knew it woukd be hard to find.. Using google tricks like quotation marks can give you better results and often it takes digging through random pages atarting on page 3 to find the non "picked" search results.
get used to using multiple search engines.
If everyone in the world came to me for advice, dont you think i could give you guys certain advice that makes me the influencer of all that is??
The guy who made the term "Net nutrality" made a study titled "Does google content degrade google search, experimental evidence."

blah blah blah. The illusion of free choice is even worse when one cannot count on unbiased searches for information. My advice. Stop feeding mega corporations if you like not what they do.
The google has you Neo.
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

in case my point was misssed.. I was trying to avoid the back and forth. Does anyone see why a company like google (who run youtube as well) having very strong bias [as evident by the internal memo being widely rejected] is a very bad thing when they are already censoring people they disagree with.

One issue here that I don't see addressed is any awareness that your own searches "bias" (or train) your browser to deliver results. In other words, I'm not going to see many right-wing sources for anything and even when I google for news, the number of times that Breitbart comes up as a source is around zero.
Ask a conservative to google the same thing and they get different answers.
Ask someone who believes the Annunaki are ancient aliens to google anything on the Sumerian culture and they will get wildly different results than I do when I google for the same terms.

Interesting stuff... I find it quite funny actually when I think about the people at Google being so leftist but having to maintain a platform where many right leaning YouTubers have more popularity than major news networks. Think about it... Alex Jones (2M), Joe Rogan (1.5M), Mark Dice (1M), Paul Joseph Watson (1M), Rebel Media (0.86M), Stefan Molyneux (0.65M), Bearing (0.38M), Lauren Southern (0.31M), etc.
Then you also have many other massive YouTuber's such as PewDiePie and Shoe0nHead who I don't think would necessarily label themselves as right wing or conservative but still make many videos roasting SJW's, Antifa, and other far left groups, and pointing out flaws in their ideology. It's no surprise Google is reacting the way they are, but it does concern me. I hope cooler heads at google will prevail.

...considering the people that make up Google as well as the founders, I highly doubt there is any anti-diversity enactments happening. If anything, these companies are ignoring Americans in favor of importing cheaper workers from Asian countries on H-1B visas.
So if there IS an anti-diversity "policy", it is going to be in favor of Asians more than anyone else.

Or you could just apply some basic common sense and assume that Google operates like many other large corporations in it's pathetic virtue signalling.
No?
