Google "Machine Learning Fairness" Whistleblower Goes Public, says: "burden lifted off of my soul"
The internal Google documents are available here.
A Google insider who anonymously leaked internal documents to Project Veritas made the decision to go public in an on-the-record video interview. The insider, Zachary Vorhies, decided to go public after receiving a letter from Google, and after he says Google allegedly called the police to perform a "wellness check" on him.
Along with the interview, Vorhies asked Project Veritas to publish more of the internal Google documents he had previously leaked. Said Vorhies:
"I gave the documents to Project Veritas, I had been collecting the documents for over a year. And the reason why I collected these documents was because I saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company and I realized that there were going to not only tamper with the elections, but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States."
[...] Shortly after the report including the "algorithmic unfairness" documents was published, Vorhies received a letter from Google containing several "demands." Vorhies told Project Veritas that he complied with Google's demands, which included a request for any internal Google documents he may have personally retained. Vorhies also said he sent those documents to the Department of Justice Antitrust Division.
NPR interviewed Zachary Vorhies about the shooting at YouTube's headquarters in 2018, and described him as a "senior software engineer at YouTube". And here's a 2016 interview with Digital Trends.
TorrentFreak.com's Ernesto is looking into the site's placement on a Google Now block list.
