      Okay. Given Google’s annual revenue is $109 billion, that’s like someone making $50,000 giving about a dollar. Would that be reported as news? Reporting should include the denominator.https://twitter.com/aaranged/status/976140731013214208 …

      Finally, Google is putting $3M towards MediaWise, "a media literacy project designed to help millions of young people in the U.S. discern fact from fiction online, through classroom education and video" http://bit.ly/2G0duG0  @Poynter 7/7

      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. See: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/10/opinion/sunday/youtube-politics-radical.html …https://twitter.com/kwm/status/976439197560012801 …

      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.

          This 'giving' going hand in hand with 'taking' sounds a little bit like those Hindus who believe they can ''wash away their sins by taking a dip in a holy river', whitewashing, like some philanthropists who made money using every trick in the book, now go around as messiahs

          so you're going full on moral panic about "young minds being exposed to youtube" now eh? is this the new "kids are playing violent video games and looking at porn"?

          Yes. Compare that with pharmaceutical industry which gives out free medicines mainly as a PR strategy against public opposition to insanely high medicine prices. This "charity" costs them peanuts but gives them an excuse to rake in billions in return.

          As someone involved in this, let me say both points have validity. For our part (@SHEG_Stanford) we will try our best to do good. @StanfordEd
