Google calls for more censorship on internal message boards

In 2019, Google launched a policy restricting discussions on politics in internal messaging boards. The policy was criticized by some employees who claimed the restrictions were too broad.

According to a blog post by the company’s internal community management, there has been an increase in “abusive” posts in message boards. They believe the cause is a combination of increased engagement since Googlers have to work from home and the “tough global conversation.”

Therefore, the company is adding stricter rules to the 2019 policy on internal political discussions. Admins of discussion groups will be required to act as moderators and even go through compulsory moderation training.

Any of our local Googlers care to spin up an alt and dish some dirt?
