Google had a privacy chief?
What exactly was he doing? Jacking off Pichai?
Google used to at least pretend to not be amoral, but I think this restructuring pretty much reveals them for what they are now.
He was entrusted with protecting Google's privacy; not it's customers!
Vest and rest I guess. :)
We know what he wasn't doing. He wasn't preventing the leak of internal documents detailing how search works. Which is probably why he's fired. Someone has to take the fall. Kind of wonder if he's got a golden parachute.
He's ex-C-suite of IBM and Macy's I'm sure he's fine.
We can only assume he was doing a lot of work that made google just as evil as it is now compared to the alternative without him, which we'll get now.
