Leaked video shows Google execs troubled by Trump election

"I know this is probably not the most joyous TGIF we have had," Google co-founder Sergey Brin said in the video. "As an immigrant and a refugee, I certainly find this election deeply offensive. I know many of you do, too."

Google told AFP that for more than 20 years employees have been free to express personal viewpoints at all-hands get-togethers such as the one in the video.

In a series of recent tweets, Trump assailed Google for what he termed "rigged" results that hide news from conservative outlets and promote content from what he called "left-wing" media.

That followed similar comments from Republican lawmakers including House majority leader Kevin McCarthy, who claimed that "conservatives are too often finding their voices silenced" on online platforms.

Technology and media analysts say there is little evidence to suggest Google is skewing results for political reasons. And if they did, the president would have little recourse under the constitution's free-speech protections.
