Google Leaks

This insightful book, Google Leaks, uncovers the dark side of tech censorship and offers a personal account of corporate manipulation from within Google.

In Google Leaks, Zach Vorhies, a former senior engineer at Google, reveals the chilling reality of corporate censorship and manipulation within the tech giant. As the 2016 election approached, Vorhies witnessed firsthand how Google's internal culture shifted dramatically, driven by a fear of the political landscape. The book details how the once-celebrated ideals of free speech and open discourse were systematically undermined, replaced by an oppressive atmosphere of censorship that stifled dissenting voices and altered the very fabric of public debate.

Working alongside bestselling author Kent Heckenlively, Vorhies crafts a compelling narrative that explores the transformation of Google from a beacon of innovation to a “woke-church” of intolerance. Drawing on his background as a counter-thinker influenced by dystopian literature, Vorhies articulates the dangers of a reality where information is controlled and manipulated. He exposes the inner workings of Google's so-called “Machine Learning Fairness,” a system that merges critical race theory with artificial intelligence, which he argues is designed to suppress certain viewpoints while promoting others.

Through the release of 950 pages of internal documents to the Department of Justice and the public, Vorhies ignited a significant whistleblower movement. Google Leaks not only provides an eye-opening account of how tech companies can influence political outcomes but also offers potential solutions to combat censorship. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the implications of big tech's power over free expression and democratic ideals.
