Google tried to block media coverage of gender discrimination case

Google has tried to restrict reporting on a high-stakes gender discrimination case brought by the US government and fought to have the case thrown out of court because of a federal attorney’s comments to a reporter.
Google also attempted to restrict press access during a hearing last month. Following a private meeting with the judge about the Guardian’s reporting, Google’s attorney requested that the proceeding be closed to the media before continuing, but a DoL attorney objected and the judge sided with the government.
Jennifer Schwartz, another attorney who has represented women in Silicon Valleycases, noted that the wage gap has been widely documented in the tech industry and that Google should not be resisting independent scrutiny.
