I use Chromebooks because of security & rec them to adults—but under strict lockdown of settings. In schools, it means enrolling kids in Google ecology without training & exposing young people to YouTube which is not okay.

Can you put a dollar amount on what would be newsworthy?

And what exactly would you have them spend this money on?

Presumably, like many examples of corporate giving, the media campaign equals or exceeds the actual amount of their benevolence.

Sure, but the appropriate denominator for a single donation is the recipient’s budget. Can they absorb it usefully or will it all go to “administrative costs”?

So true and simple! Denominators are, well, critical to critical thinking.

Revenue is not profit, and they are a publicly traded company. Not jumping to Google's defense, but having a number of good friends there who do a lot of good with their employer's backing, sniping at one investment out of literally tens of thousands seems slanted.pic.twitter.com/7y0O1RoofB

I agree that the denominator matters for some purposes, such as evaluation of total giving. But doing good is doing good. To wit: Google provided Chromebooks and service to under-funded elementary schools where we used to live. Low cost. Huge impact. That's okay, I think.
