Hm, looks like some of the protesters might end up in a moral conflict because
of this… ;)
Btw, I couldn’t find one single newspaper correctly analysing the situation.

Actually the protesters didn’t win, but google delivered a perfect media stunt:
The truth is google nevertheless pumps 14 million into renovating the building,
remains
The main tenant, just gives the space away for 5 years, and only invited 2
handpicked
And google-friendly organisations to what they advertise as „social center“.
One of them is a „google impact“ laureate, the other one gets depicted as
social fundraiser
Platform while not mentioning its other end of the tail with a think tank
promoting to shift social
Responsibility to the private sector. I guess the advertising agency
specialising in „experiential
Marketing“ that the fundraiser works with has recommended that sharing a space
with an institution
Hosting 15 homeless teenagers makes for the best 3D experience for its stock
holders.
Perfect example of social washing, not backing down.
Funny enough, though, the fact that the protesters can yet capture some kind of
victory from this,
derives from that obviously neither journalists nor politicians are using a
search engine for vetting
the news google’s marketing department delivers to them :)
