Google wants the workers to own the means of production?

Also, OP, the fuck do you think you are doing, citing the Project Veritas thing in your opinion after we spent days telling you why it was an unreliable source???

Yes thats not good road.

Being a biased source doesn't mean 'everything they post is a lie'.

In this case, Google had admitted that most of the documents they 'leaked' are 'genuine'.

Now, on the other hand, those documents don't mean what Veritas and its apologists want them to mean, but that's an entirely different story...

Not particularly shocking that Google would prefer to have teams of drones working for them, not people.

Well here's some context as to the previous state of Google:

Going to repost this, because the Wired article gives an proper idea about the background of this desaster.

Socialism is when you're dubiously accused of making your algorithms be mean to conservatives, and the more you are accused the socialister it is.

Sounds like a funny way to say Google doesn't want their employees to unionize.

No, they're Woke Corporatist. That's where you act like a gilded age robber baron, but the modern left is OK with you since you tweeted the occasional rainbow flag.

Yeah, I suspect it has something to do with the rising awareness of unions. Google cares about politics and politics influenced the work place. A company like Google or Amazon can't risk their workers becoming politically aware, unionizing, and getting everyone at the organization a share of the profits. Psh, but I am a crazy lunatic who thinks all businesses should be owned by the workers.

Google has been the news these days for several things like oh not really following their own code of ethics and behavior(ie do no evil and be googly).

The fact politics is nasty these days and they don’t want it? It’s nothing that impressive. Ever established company on the planet discourages politics in the office.

I should state I am not without an opinion of them as my wife was treated rather evil and ungoogly by them.

In other words; meh on the news.

I think it's pretty strange that people are going on about Google's anti-conservative bias when the article literally says this:

Last year, a group of liberal employees organized walkout protests for policies against sexual harassment. One of the employees who led the movement and later left the company alleged continued retaliation from Google's top brass.
