Google whistleblower launches project to keep tech ethical

Jack Poulson's non-profit group Tech Inquiry aims to make it easier for coders to speak out

Employees of tech companies should have the right to know when they are working on projects they may find ethically unacceptable, a former Google whistleblower has said.

In 2018, Jack Poulson hit headlines after he resigned from his job at Google over the company's (now-scrapped) plan to build a censorship AI for the Chinese search market. Now, he wants to make sure that other tech workers can fight for what's right without having to put their livelihood on the line.
