On Sept. 12, Breitbart released an explosive video from inside Google’s first all-staff meeting after the 2016 election. In an hour-long forum broadcast internally to employees, the post-election grief and confusion of Google executives was on display. At a time where President Trump has seized on the conservative movement’s anger and paranoia about censorship in Silicon Valley, this leak is sure to throw fuel on the fire. There surely are several moments in the video of over-the-top alarmism about what a Trump presidency will look like, but there is also a great deal of evidence here that Google sees the political divide we’re living in today — and wants to understand it, not pick winners and losers through search engine censorship.

The first thing that stands out in this company-wide grieving session is the frequent mention of “Google’s values.” One speaker after another talks about how Trump’s election and campaign were both in sharp opposition to the company’s core values. A short search online turns up Google’s guiding philosophy, Ten Things We Know To Be True. It’s all very benign, good-natured corporate rhetoric aimed at creating flexible and fulfilling workspaces for their young staff, and speaks to the abstract, cliched concept of “doing the most good.”
