In general it's about not accidentally excluding people. All the cases you propose are deliberate blocks for various (mostly legal) reasons. The deliberate blocks are considered in the review, and as long as there is a sound business case for launching with the exclusion, it goes ahead.

You're running into US sanctions issues (Crimea), not woke Google policy.

Doesn't matter. Also sanctions are not against Ukraine, that would be stupid.

> Also sanctions are not against Ukraine, that would be stupid.

The sanctions explicitly include Ukraine, due to financial entanglements between Ukrainian and Russian corporations[1].

I went over the link and it does not explicitly include Ukraine. Instead it explicitly lists out the specific individuals and entities subject to the sanctions in this incredibly long and detailed list:

https://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdnlist.txt

All your link does is reference the rationale for why certain individuals and entities are part of the SDN list, namely violating the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but no where in anything you've linked to does it state that Ukraine is in general subject to sanctions.

Your link:

> authorizes sanctions on individuals and entities

> a number of Russian and Ukrainian entities

> sanctions on individuals and entities

> impose sanctions on those persons

etc...

Your claim:

> The sanctions explicitly include Ukraine

Your claim is false by your own "evidence". The sanctions are not on Ukraine, they are on a few people in Ukraine.

All you did was read the page's url and take that to mean Ukraine is sanctioned. That's 100% false, which you can see by reading the page's contents.

To this random bystander, this comes across as deeply condescending, in case you didn't intend it that way.

L0L. This might be a new level of wokeism. Virtue signalling via condescending, taunting language directed towards someone the woke has identified as dealing with more significant problems than themselves. Truly brave and stunning. Praise George Floyd, most deserving martyr.

Of course racism is everywhere.

But the “diversity review” is so US-centric that it never capture other forms of racism.

Learning about the America-Latino-Black history, while being silent about more local (non-American) issues are just “inclusive drama”

I came in contact with Facebook wide internal 'diversity' campaigns that were blatantly US centric---while working for Facebook in South East Asia..

They have Roma to kick around in place of black people
