Google has laid off one-third of the team responsible for handling law enforcement requests, leading to significant concerns about the company's ability to manage user data security. The layoffs have caused a backlog and increased risk to the integrity and security of sensitive user data. A union representing workers has raised concerns about how the company will manage its users’ data security. Additionally, more than 40 unionizing YouTube Music content operations team members were fired in February, prompting US lawmakers to express serious concerns to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Lawmakers, including over 40 colleagues and Labor Caucus co-chairs, are demanding a swift federal investigation into the matter, which could set a precedent for generations.
