Even as Google, along with Facebook, face new rounds of antitrust scrutiny, including a joint restraint of trade one, the Texas Observer, is getting 11 months of funding from Google as part of its GNI Innovation Challenge.
So, the plutocratic, snoopocratic Google is paying the Observer to hire reporters to "embed" in communities of color? That's the same Google that muzzled, then fired, Black AI researcher Timnit Gebru.
Once again, Bernard and Audre Rapoport, or at least him, are surely turning in their graves.
Surely Google is looking for some sort of data-mining as part of this. Maybe an upgraded version of Google Analytics, with special add-ons reporting direct to Google, embedded in the website, for ad targeting purposes.
