On a personal note, I’ve been *amazed* by how hard Priya’s worked building these companies. I’ve never seen you so aligned in your purpose. Congratulations!!

Taking a break from my social media hibernation to shout out my friend @Priyasideas for announcing MAYURA, her new line for curly hair (!!), and We Are Spiraling, her exciting new podcast and Substack newsletter: https://t.co/YjUSpUhita

[Nico Grant @nicoagrant]

I heard a sneak peak of the pod and it’s long overdue! Newsmakers, actors, comedians and others talk about why they hide (or embrace) their curls, how it’s shaped their identities, and how societal views of the hair texture have changed. So subscribe, sign up and tune in y’all!

@puiwingtam @jimkerstetter @ellenjpollock1 It’s mutual! ❤️

In personal news, I left The New York Times last week. It was a difficult decision because I had one of the best jobs in the business. Working there was a dream come true, but now, it’s time to chase other dreams outside of journalism.

[Nico Grant @nicoagrant]

Looking forward to my next chapter in Los Angeles. More to come.

Thanks to all of you who helped me in my reporting career, especially my former colleagues @business

When Google quietly changed an ad policy in 2023, major charities noticed an influx of competing ads trying to siphon their traffic from the search engine, and raising their ad costs on crucial fundraising days.

Fascinating scoop from @nicoagrant about how Google lawyers worried that a cloud computing contract w/the Israeli government could link the company to human rights violations. Echoes the concerns of Google's employee activists, many of whom were fired. https://t.co/b3C4x36O2J

[Nico Grant @nicoagrant]

The story has details on how Google expected more revenue from Israel's military than the rest of its central govt, the company's negotiating approach and its worries about other aspects of the deal. https://t.co/eN4ekxgOg2

[Nico Grant @nicoagrant]

Internal Google documents shed new light on how the company worried that signing a cloud deal with the Israeli govt/military, Project Nimbus, could connect it to human rights violations in the West Bank, and how it considered withholding AI from the IDF. https://t.co/eN4ekxggqu

[Nico Grant @nicoagrant]

Years later, Nimbus still causes rancor in Google's workforce, leading to employee protests this year and the company's decision to fire 50 workers. In October, the company forbid staff from posting signs and posters with unauthorized messages around the office.

YouTube once removed 2020 misinformation, fearing real-world harm. Now it’s amplifying and profiting from 2024 falsehoods. https://t.co/crFhIK9UQR

Google must open Android to other app stores and billing options, a federal judge ruled in the Google-Epic case. Google said once again that it would appeal to a higher court.

Google rested its case in its second antitrust trial with the Justice Dept.

Here’s how it defended itself against claims it rigged the ad-tech market to build a monopoly
