Google fired the worker whose controversial leaked memo claimed the company had an “ideological echo chamber” that alienated conservatives, according to multiple reports late Monday.

The engineer, identified as James Damore, emailed Bloomberg to say he was fired for “perpetuating gender stereotypes.” Recode also reported the firing, citing sources. Google did not immediately comment.

Earlier, CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly sent a note to employees saying that part of the engineer's memo violated the company’s Code of Conduct by advancing “harmful gender stereotypes.” The memo suggested women had biological issues that prohibited them from being equally as successful as their male counterparts in the tech industry.

Such an Orwellian twist, don’t you think?
Google just proved the employee’s points. SMH

Does that include those who do not go anywhere near Google?

But seriesly, the internet is a giant network of ‘pipes’ , all ya got to do is stick your spigot in a big one and fill ‘er up with GooGleByte,, the Alphabit of the Universe.

Anything is possible. Probable?

Internet Security is an illusion.. hugh hacks happen all the time.

I avoided Google for years, but one of my techie reservists convinced me that Chrome is just the best engine. I switched from Firefox and haven’t regretted it.

Try Pale Moon. Based on the Firefox base code, but it's much cleaner and way less bloated.
