Project Veritas has broken laws on several occasions, and also seems to attempt to entrap people. They tried to sell a Washington Post reporter a story about sexual impropriety from Roy Moore and then planned on outing the WaPo story as a hoax. I'd question literally anything from them as they go out of their way to entrap and falsify things up to and including breaking laws. Instead, WaPo taped the interview and did…

Entrapping liars to out them as liars is good.

Truth or not, this is valuable information. I understand skepticism of Veritas but let people make up their own minds before removing it. Why flag? Edit: I really want these documents to be false, I do.

Is it actually valuable information? It will take a while to work through everything, but what do you think the odds are that there are w bunch of docs here that are missing context and therefore are misleading? Especially given PV's BS surrounding google in just the past few weeks.

I understand that, but these are Google employees. I am literally watching them tell me something. If you were Project Veritas, you would turn away a Google employee giving you inside info?

You say it's creepy that it's being flagged, but also that you understand that the source is "not reliable or trustworthy". Can you clarify your concern?

It's flagged because it's Project Veritas. They are not a reliable or trustworthy source.

Its becoming pretty clear that this Google employee is also untrustworthy from his twitter, which includes birtherism, qanon conspiracies, 9/11 trutherism, pizzagate conspiracies, and piles of antisemitism.

Ok - the messenger is bad. But are these documents real?

Who knows? The messenger has manufacured false documents in the past, which was OP's point.

Exactly, very creepy that this keeps getting flagged. Super interesting news about a company we wall work with. These are google employees and I want to hear what they have to say, and talk about it with all of you, my unbiased HN friends.

All I want is a discussion.

Here's a start, it is from Project Veritas, a known bad actor. The Google employee in specific has a history of Q conspiracy theories and anti-semitism. Neither of them seem very trustworthy. If it isn't very trustworthy, is it really news?

It seems like if the documents are real then flagging this post is harmful.

Bloomberg has published false and unretracted pieces, but we don’t flag them into oblivion - we evaluate each piece.

A discussion with veritas is guaranteed to feature lies, making it not a useful discussion.
