so much is despicable about how google is treating timnit gebru. tech companies seem to have incredible tolerance for those who inflict harm and zero tolerance for a black woman doing her job well, advocating for herself or speaking about her mistreatment https://t.co/DM2Hss9Ntx

It is unreasonable to require people who are detailing harm to also defend the harm doers by listing ways the harm could be less horrible. (In case it needs to be said, harm doers should doing the work to figure out how to eliminate the harm.) https://t.co/Bqmlhf8VOv pic.twitter.com/HfFhl7x2qS

For my followers who haven't seen this, it's a HUGE deal. @timnitGebru, one of the foremost scholars of AI ethics, was fired from Google after they tried to censor her research. Their former motto "don't be evil" gets more ironic every dayhttps://t.co/t7rUyXUa9S

구글의 저명한 윤리적 AI 팀 공동 팀장(흑인 여성)이 소수자 채용과 AI 알고리즘의 편견 대응 방식 비판 후 부당 해고됐다고 폭로. AI 적용 범위 빠르게 넓혀 가는 상황에서 기술의 공정성과 신뢰도 위한 노력 둘러싸고 실리콘밸리 일선 직원들과 고위 경영진 갈등 고조 단면.https://t.co/P5Yk3l3uKI

Corporate greed and impunity at its finest in #Google! You dare to disagree with your bosses, even worse you do so as a black woman, then you will get “silenced”??#StopthebiasinAI#IstandwithTIMNIT@timnitGebru @JeffDean https://t.co/xbu9OiB2KM pic.twitter.com/khKgwZmRF7

So much of the bad faith "free speech" debate focuses on the people with the most protection (tenured profs, senators, elites) but I would bet that the infringements that affect the largest share of people in the US are the result of at-will employment https://t.co/DfC4lp3YOn

A lot of people ostensibly concerned about free speech and 'wokeness' rallied behind James Damore when Google fired him. They said Google elites would only ever persecute a white man bc of 'wokeness.' Will the same people rally behind Dr. Gebru? https://t.co/LY91qQi59J

Literally, so many of us have been in this situation. Replace and insert another discipline or industry. It’s practically predictable. Black person speaks out against racism. Black person gets pressured to leave, or, worse, is fired.https://t.co/3leFLr1pJf

So let me get this straight @Google fired their ethics manager @timnitGebru for doing her job!@gleemie searching for words to make sense of this?

This case appears to involve two distinct speech issues. The 1st is an employer unduly attempting to suppress a researcher's scholarly work. The 2nd is the employer retaliating against an employee for internal speech about working conditions https://t.co/DfC4lp3YOn

Tendentious NYTimes story says Google fired Ms. Gebru. In fact, she made list of odd demands & said she would quit if not met. So Google called her bluff. Seems like ⁦@CadeMetz⁩ & ⁦@daiwaka⁩ were just out to make Google look bad.
