Google has struggled to represent a full spectrum of viewpoints on political issues like Black Lives Matter (BLM) and the recent U.S. elections and is taking steps to define “fairness” for its users internally, according to a former high-level employee.
The source said that Google, like many other Big Tech companies, doesn’t want antitrust lawsuits or significant investigations into the issues within its products. As such, Google attempts to keep its tech as politically neutral as possible with sometimes concerning results.
Google disputes the source’s claim and said they have a clear business reason for building products that are politically neutral so that they can be used by as many people as possible.
The Google whistleblower told Fox Digital that the unsaid company standard is to play “whatever political side of the fence” the country is on at the time.
“I saw that when the election happened with Donald Trump, like they went from we’re going to talk about fairness to don’t say a word about this s— ever outside of us. They locked everything down. They couldn’t even take notes inside of our meetings because they were worried things could be, you know, put out in the public,” the former employee said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The report explains: To help determine their internal standards of fairness, Google put together the “What Is Fair Enough” (WIFE) project.
The report also states:
According to the source, following the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests, there was a big push with products like Google Voice and Google Assistant to make sure they gave politically correct answers. If you asked it, “Is it OK to be gay?” or “Is it OK to be transgender?,” the product would allegedly say “yes” because that’s the overall climate in the U.S. Gay marriage is legal and there are protections for the transgender community.
The former employee said Google handpicked people with diverse identities to decide what fairness threshold works for Google.
