Shareholders Sue Alphabet's Board For Role In Allegedly Covering Up Sexual Misconduct By Senior Execs (cnbc.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: Attorneys in San Francisco representing an Alphabet shareholder are suing the board of directors for allegedly covering up sexual misconduct claims against top executives. The suit comes months after an explosive New York Times report detailed how Google shielded executives accused of sexual misconduct, either by keeping them on staff or allowing them amicable departures. For example, Google reportedly paid Android leader Andy Rubin a $90 million exit package, despite asking for his resignation after finding sexual misconduct claims against him credible.
The new lawsuit, filed in California's San Mateo County, asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The attorneys say the lawsuit is the result of "an extensive original investigation into non-public evidence" and produced copies of internal Google minutes from board of directors meetings. "The Directors' wrongful conduct allowed the illegal conduct to proliferate and continue," the suit reads. "As such, members of Alphabet's Board were knowing and direct enablers of the sexual harassment and discrimination."

That's a whole load of crap.
No, I'd say it was pretty accurate.
Responsible people act responsibly.
Of course they do. There just aren't any responsible people out there.
Don't tar all of us with the "man is sexual creature" brush just because you can't keep your penis in your pants.
That's the spirit. Denying reality always works out well.
Every liberal would agree that man is entitled to food. in fact you could point to practically anything basic and many nonbasic things and mainstream liberals would say you are entitled to it. Internet, free abortions, free executive positions, free feminine hygiene products, free money. We are expected to celebrate these needs and flaunt it, and everybody has to understand and cherish our need to have it. Why is heterosexual sex (for men) the only need in the universe that must be hidden away and be ashamed of?
