A well-known Republican San Francisco lawyer has filed a lawsuit against Google seeking to represent white, male or conservative employees who believe the company has discriminated against them.
The lawyer is Harmeet Dhillon, a partner with the Dhillon Law Group in San Francisco and the former chairwoman of the Republican Party in San Francisco.
She has been on the hunt for such victims since she took on fired Google engineer James Damore as a client in August. And on Monday she presented the first fruits of her research in a 161-page complaint that's chock full of allegations and screenshots.
The most jaw-dropping allegation is that "Google publicly endorsed blacklists" of conservatives. The lawsuit claims that several hiring managers publicly vowed not to hire people categorized as "hostile voices" aka conservatives.
For instance, one manager wrote on one internal forum, "I will never, ever hire/transfer you onto my team. Ever."
Another manager wrote in another, "I keep a written blacklist of people whom I will never allow on or near my team, based on how they view and treat their coworkers. That blacklist got a little longer today."

I suggest you dump their search engine and use the one I use, DuckDuckGO

I was on the interwebs somewhere and a blogger wailed that all search engines “ride” Google and specifically said that DuckDuckGo still passes through Google.Heard anything like it? Thoughts?
It’s nice to see the left getting bit by the same animal they attacked us with. It would be nice to return to the days of freedom long gone where a boss really was the boss and could fire anybody for anything they felt like.

You’re being tracked by every request you make regardless of the intermediary search engine. You’re leaving “web” prints everywhere. :)
I’m guessing to be dark, you’d need a trusted proxy with randomized request delays scaled to the level of traffic. Then at best, you’d be just one of the many million blams.
Ditto.
With the alternate search engines, sometimes the results are not very good and functionality is limited. So I frequently end up redoing the search in Google anyway.
I sincerely hope that this discrimination lawsuit against Google forces it to clean up its toxic culture.
I am surprised by your comments about alternative search engines. I have used the internet for many years and never used google. I have always found what I was looking for with no problems at all.
I’d like to hit them proportional to their attacks on our freedoms.
Social networking is a known health hazard. Texting while driving now causes more injury and death than DUI. Children who use social networking lack social and integration skills, iow, it retards their development.
I propose the following regulations for social networking:
1) Social networking sites must audit customer usage and limit account access to two hours per day. Thereafter accounts are logged out for 22 hours before they may log in again.
2) Social networking must use age verification. All social networking account holders must be 21 years of age or older.
2) US-based social networking sites must commit to reducing their total active accounts by 20% over a 10 year period. Foreign based social networking sites must commit to a 2% reduction which will be voluntary.
I’d name it The Social Networking Public Health and Safety Treaty (since they’re globalists).
The Damore event is what finally made me go through every device and browser in the house and make sure Google wasn’t the default search engine. I should have done it much sooner.
I do a lot of searches, and frequently find the results unsatisfactory from alternate search engines. In some cases, the results are fine, but I cannot use them the way I need. This applies mostly to image searches.
I forgot already what it was earlier that motivated me.
Absolutely nothing doing with Google. Period!

Wonder if Amazon has it’s eye on Google?.
