The Alphabet Workers Union, which was created by employees of Google’s parent firm, said in a statement this week it was “concerned by the suspension of the corporate access of Margaret Mitchell,” a union member and lead researcher. “Together these are an attack on the people who are trying to make Google’s technology more ethical,” the union said in a statement.
The tech giant did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment. In a statement to Axios, Google said Mitchell’s email account had been locked pending an internal probe into her downloading of a large number of files and sharing them with people outside the company.
