This story is bigger than me, and it's bigger than Google. Greed and abuse of power have not only infected American companies like Google, they've infected Washington too. And it's time to stop it. #RossForMainehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/01/02/top-google-exec-pushed-company-commit-human-rights-then-google-pushed-him-out-he-says/ …

I used those words myself in 2010 as Google’s Head of Government Affairs for Asia Pacific, when I executed the company’s landmark decision to stop censoring Search results in China, putting human rights ahead of the bottom line.

Just when Google needed to double down on a commitment to human rights, it decided to instead chase bigger profits and an even higher stock price.

Senior colleagues bullied and screamed at young women, causing them to cry at their desks. At an all-hands meeting, my boss said, “Now you Asians come to the microphone too. I know you don’t like to ask questions.”

Susan Collins voted for a $1.5 trillion tax break for companies like Google while working parents in my community literally can’t afford to get sick. Her priorities are clear, so are mine. I'm in this to fight to get my state & our country back on track.
