*Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Friday, June 1 rejected a request by Los Angeles Civil rights leaders to meet to discuss Googlescensorship of a promo for the forthcoming book, Black Lives Do Matter, by noted author and political analyst and President of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, Earl Ofari Hutchinson. The rejection of a meeting came after repeated calls to Pichai.
Google rejected a YouTube promotional video for the book, calling it “dangerous and derogatory.” It claimed that it violated its standards against inciting hate and violence. The meeting was solely to discuss how and why Google would censor a promo that addresses this much discussed issue of compelling racial and public policy.
“Google’s unilateral decision to reject the promo of an important new assessment of the Black Lives Matter movement and the issues of racial stereotyping and racial conflict,” says Hutchinson,” sends the doubly dangerous message that censorship is alive and well and that Google has slammed the door on a pointed discussion of the issues of race and racism.”
Civil rights leaders will call for a one day tune out of YouTube on Wednesday June 6 in response to Google’s censorship.
