Here is an example of a recruiting ad on LinkedIn for Google Trust & Safety hires. They want to aggregate resumes with junior public policy experience and PR or public affairs. The actual boss at Trust & Safety at Google invested a lot of career hours at KPMG a legal and PR firm used by Raytheon and other government-corporate heavies.

It looks like a regular PR job when you click the link. In fact, you will become a Google Brown shirt apologist for whatever Egypt’s former (or current!) policy & PR actor says and does while contracting with the US DOD/Intel State.

“At Google we work hard to earn our users’ trust every day. Trust & Safety is Google’s team of abuse fighting and user trust experts working daily to make the internet a safer place. We partner with teams across Google to deliver bold solutions in abuse areas such as malware, spam and account hijacking. A diverse team of Analysts, Policy Specialists, Engineers, and Program Managers, we work to reduce risk and fight abuse across all of Google’s products, protecting our users, advertisers, and publishers across the globe in over 40 languages.”

So this is what they’ve been doing with that consumer “trust”.
