This video seems quite sensationalist, and in many places the argument seems like a stretch. For example, you say that Timnit was fired, but the only evidence of this seems to be that she claims this is the case—in contrast, Google says she offered to resign:
Timnit responded with an email requiring that a number of conditions be met in order for her to continue working at Google, including revealing the identities of every person who Megan and I had spoken to and consulted as part of the review of the paper and the exact feedback. Timnit wrote that if we didn’t meet these demands, she would leave Google and work on an end date. We accept and respect her decision to resign from Google.
Even if you thought Google is mistaken/lying I think you should at least mention this.
I would also encourage you to submit text rather than video to the forum in the future. In many cases you mentioned things that I would like to respond to—for example, the idea that Google’s responsibility for searches linking to bad medical advice is similar to Boeing’s responsibility for plane crashes—but it is very hard to do so without text to easily search, analyse and quote.
On text vs. video: I agree with the general point that text is easier to respond to, but in this case, the video’s script was linked in the post (maybe not at the time you made this comment?)
