Good uses of HR to block publication: a fricking Playboy spread about the @GoogleAI team because it creates a hostile working environment... except, oops, the HR team didn't block that or penalize the male executives who crowed about it. #IStandWithTimnit https://t.co/8P47V2oGMi

As more info about the paper leaks, it becomes clear that in no way was @timnitGebru's research sloppy, sensational, or irresponsible; it just came to conclusions that Google leadership wanted to suppress because of inconvenience to the company. #IStandWithTimnit
