Google’s LGBTQ employees are furious about YouTube’s policy disasters

The Verge:

Internally, employees have petitioned YouTube to strip its social channels of Pride branding. They see it as a hypocritical co-opting of their community and symbol while the company is actively damaging the community. One employee referred to it as “mere lip service,” adding that the company has lost its right to use the rainbow flag and other LGBTQ branding by allowing homophobic harassment to exist on its platform. “The company can’t have it both ways,” they say. “LGBTQ employees won’t stand for it.”
