Since we as a project have left Twitter/X (as recently announced by our
Publicity Team) on the basis of "We do not want to be present in a place
where we cannot ensure that users will be respected and where abuse
happens without consequences" [0] [1], I would like start a discussion
about how we as a project can promptly sever ties with Google.
Full disclosure: I am currently employed by Google, and do not speak for the company.
DFSG #6 discusses not discriminating against fields of endeavour.
I can see the project wishing to cut ties with a social media platform that is unable to ensure a minimum level of civil discourse. I'm not seeing how this is even remotely equivalent to disengaging from a corporate sponsor because of their commercial practices?
regards
Andrew
