| Google Fires Viewpoint Diversity Manifesto Author James Damore |
| 2017-08-08 |
| [BREITBART] The Google employee behind a ten-page viewpoint diversity manifesto that went viral online has been fired. James Damore, whose manifesto criticizing the politically correct corporate culture at Google prompted outrage from left-wing employees and social justice warriors online, revealed that he had been fired in an email to Breitbart Tech on Monday evening. In his email to Breitbart Tech, Damore claimed, "They just fired me for ’perpetuating gender stereotypes.'" Damore’s writing has revealed a divided Google, in which some employees agree with his outlook, but are afraid to speak out for fear of repercussions from social justice warriors in the company, such as being added to blacklists. In a memo sent to employees, Google CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly claimed that Damore had violated their Code of Conduct. Earlier in the day we reported on free speech social media platform Gab, which expressed interest in hiring Damore if he was fired from Google. |

| #19 @crusader, use startpage.com. It's run by DuckDuckGo, but uses the google search engine after DDG strips your personal/browser/location info off the search query. If you think the results aren't as good as google, that's because google was customizing the results for you to match what it thinks you like. |

| #16 You can use dogpile, which sits on top of Google and other search engines, and strips out Google's ads, so you can deprive them of the revenue. |

| #15 I echo the comment another made before me--I'd love to stop using Google, but I haven't found a search engine that can hold a candle to it. |

| #11 How hard is it to make an efficient search engine? Maybe the guy they just fired can answer that. |

| #10 I'd like to see Google sink but the competition seems pretty far behind. How hard is it to make an efficient search engine? |
