[Masato]

would like confirmation, so far I'm just seeing this photo with the headline. Could be any group really but if true dayum

[The Anti-Archon]

Not sure if that is the exact team, but I have been in the Ann Arbor, Michigan Google office on a couple different occasions and...well, that looks accurate.

Diversity is our strength! Just check the stats dudes! The more diversity the better!

NPR: Women at Google were so upset over memo citing biological differences they skipped work

As Twitchy reported, the Google employee who wrote an “anti-diversity memo” suggesting biological differences between men and women are the reason there are fewer women in technical fields was fired, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the controversy with his own memo saying the employee had crossed the line by “advancing harmful gender stereotypes.”

Plenty have noted that by firing James Damore over a memo in which he criticized Google as “an ideological echo chamber,” the company just proved him right.

In fact, plenty of people who seem to think they’re defending Google are doing just the opposite. NPR, for example, talked to a former Google software engineer who claimed that some women stayed home from work Monday because they were so upset over the memo.

LOL read some of these tweets in response:

Oh, the irony, lol


Women at Google defy stereotype by getting super-emotional and calling in sick over a man saying something they don't like. https://t.co/jozXLDNzRQ

Emotional women skipped work because they were triggered by a memo that suggested that women are generally more emotional. https://t.co/Fh3cuxXckJ

Sorta proves the very point of the memo… that men and women are wired differently. https://t.co/4yxcFYrGDx

Is NPR implying women disproportionately had an emotional reaction? https://t.co/TiPIfP4Tji

A neurotic reaction, if you will…

Thanks for reinforcing the “women are emotional and can’t hack it” stereotype, you weaklings. Next time, read the actual memo. Dumbasses. https://t.co/JKhE5E2DuQ

Skipped work because they were upset about a memo? Who raised these little princesses? Bet mommy let them stay home from school when upset.

Nothing says "I'm as capable as a man" like skipping work because of something someone with no power in your company wrote. https://t.co/N2RsP2OLfO

One dude out of 10s of thousands of employees writes something they don't agree with, and they are too upset to go to work? Come on, folks.

gee, that doesn't make women look weak and pathetic and undesirable for tech jobs https://t.co/JBtYeu2Nrf

You just proved what you so desperately wanted to disprove wasn't true.

And they perpetuate the stereotype that women can't handle stress and pressure as well as men. Good job ladies.

Hey, @NPR, you're surely not implying that women are prone to hysteria, are you? Fire yourselves, cretins.
— Michael Erwin (@michaeloferwins) August 8, 2017

Seriously?!? Do they need their security blankets to go to work now?
— Tom (@RoninVision) August 8, 2017

I'm sure Google will provide the blankets tommorow…with the appropriate logo of course

Oh, hey. It's encouraging that these women are refusing to become emotional or overreact over someone's well presented argument.

Remember this the next time we discuss the "wage gap," where these poor souls stayed home because of a memo.

Here is more; YouTube brings ADL in to help flag and censor 'controversial' posts:


YouTube Moves To Censor “Controversial” Content – Brings ADL On Board As Flagger

https://www.mintpressnews.com/youtube-c ... er/230530/

With the war between mainstream and independent media heating up, YouTube has weaponized a new content censorship program, calling it an effort to “fight terror content online.” With standards set by groups like the Anti-Defamation League, political agendas are sure to intrude.


MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA — Ever since “fake news” found its place among the various explanations used by the Clinton campaign and supporters to account for their candidate’s loss, there has been a quiet but concerted effort on the part of establishment media, technology, and telecommunications companies to thwart the surging popularity of independent media.

The rise of the independent media has been hugely detrimental to the once privileged position of the mainstream media, who have now lost the trust of the vast majority of Americans and – along with that trust – their ability to control political and social narratives.

Chief among the groups seeking to clamp down on independent media has been Google, the massive technology company with deep connections to the U.S. intelligence community, as well as to U.S. government and business elites.

Since 2015, Google has worked to become the Internet’s “Ministry of Truth,” first through its creation of the First Draft Coalition and more recently via major changes made to its search engine that curtail public access to new sites independent of the corporate media.

Google has now stepped up its war on free speech and the freedom of the press through its popular subsidiary, YouTube. On Tuesday, YouTube announced online that it is set to begin censoring content deemed “controversial,” even if that content does not break any laws or violate YouTube’s user agreement.

Misleadingly dubbed as an effort “to fight terror content online,” the new program will flag content for review through a mix of machine algorithms and “human review,” guided by standards set up by “expert NGOs and institutions” that are part of YouTube’s “Trusted Flagger” program. YouTube stated that such organizations “bring expert knowledge of complex issues like hate speech, radicalization, and terrorism.”

One of the leading institutions directing the course of the Trusted Flagger program is the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The ADL was initially founded to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all” but has gained a reputation over the years for labeling any critic of Israel’s government as an “anti-Semite.”

For instance, characterizing Israeli policies towards the Palestinians as “racist” or “apartheid-like” is considered “hate speech” by the ADL, as is accusing Israel of war crimes or attempted ethnic cleansing. The ADL has even described explicitly Jewish organizations who are critical of Israel’s government as being “anti-Semitic.”

In addition to its labeling of Palestinian rights activists as “extremists,” the ADL has also given numerous U.S. conservatives the same label, including Mike Cernovich and Gavin McInnes. Cernovich and McInnes, though controversial, are extremely popular figures among conservatives and Trump supporters on YouTube and social media. Cernovich’s website, Danger & Play, gets nearly 150 million views every month. McInnes, co-founder of Vice Media, also enjoys a wide viewership, with many of his videos boasting millions of views.

The ADL is also known for being quite selective in identifying what it terms “extremism.”

While it consistently labels pro-Palestinian groups and those critical of the Israeli government as “extremists,” it has avoided that label with respect to the right-wing Israeli groups and figures that openly call for the murder or even genocide of Palestinians.

In addition, although it has flagged figures of the so-called “alt-right,” the ADL has not done the same for similar left-wing groups — such as Antifa, a group some states have listed as a “domestic terror” organization. With the ADL at the helm, YouTube’s new censorship policy is likely to selectively target those critical of Israel’s government, as well as conservative voices.

Even more unsettling, YouTube’s new policy doesn’t stop with merely censoring content.

According to the announcement, any user who searches for keywords or terms deemed “controversial” by YouTube’s chosen authorities will be redirected to a playlist of “curated” videos intended to “directly confront and debunk” the content sought by the user.

Critics have warned that the mix of censorship and redirection to “curated” propaganda videos would create a “PC, extreme-left, propagandizing echo chamber” with consequences that would go far beyond combatting “online terrorism.” Indeed, given that Google’s Jigsaw once created tools intended to bolster the ranks of al-Qaeda in Syria, Google and YouTube’s desire to fight the spread of actual terrorism is dubious, making it all the more likely that this latest move is instead targeting free speech and expression.

I tend to think this is too little too late. Toto has already pulled open the curtain. This is just the wizard instructing us to pay no attention to the man standing behind it.

They may succeed at destroying truth on YouTube, but they will never succeed at scrubbing truth from the internet. The basket of deplorables will only grow in size, much to their chagrin.

The Streisand Effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware something is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread the information is increased.[1]

It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California inadvertently drew further public attention to it. Similar attempts have been made, for example, in cease-and-desist letters to suppress numbers, files, and websites. Instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity and media extensions such as videos and spoof songs, often being widely mirrored across the Internet or distributed on file-sharing networks.[2][3]

Hey cool, I found an interview with the guy who wrote the 'Memo'

Apparently he got a job at Google, was forced to attend some 'diversity training' classes, and had a lot of ideas about the content.

Dude has a 20+ hour flight, and decides to spend the time writing an essay on some of the topics. According to this interview the essay was scientifically and academically written, with sources and everything. Moloneaux says he was impressed at the quality and sensibility of the paper.

He shared it with a select group but it leaked out and it caused a huge shitstorm.

Also interesting, apparently whoever decided to start a fire with it TOTALLY stripped it clean and had to admit that they actually edited some of the quotes, deleted his sources and some charts from the original document. They made up some headlines that were completely inaccurate to anyone who has actually read the paper, and the social media went crazy, even though most people had not even read the original document.



There is a link in the Youtube vid that will take you to the original document he wrote. For some reason it won't embed
