...and they hired someone who worked on Family Separation:

Wouldn't that kind of negate your point?

When you have to quote Buzzfeed as your source, you're doing it wrong.

Here's the person in question - they're a white house staffer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miles-t-65707671/

The family separation policy came from the White House, so that doesn't contradict your parent.

Buzzfeed News, unlike Buzzfeed, is generally considered credible and has won multiple journalism awards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuzzFeed_News#Awards_and_recog...

Google changed a lot in the past 5 years, back then the activism was a lot stronger than it is today. They have worked for a few years to grind it down so it makes sense, it will probably be mostly gone in a few years.
