The Breitbart article states: "Responding to the leak, an official Google source said the document should be considered internal research, and not an official company position." So I suppose that's confirmation of authenticity (sort of). The article can be found here: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/10/09/the-good-censor-le...

I wonder if the same internal people who protested "project dragonfly" would object so vehemently to this "research" project as well. I would hope that they would, but I'm a bit hesitant to be sure --which is a bit frightening as it kind of would confirm people can hold two opposing views simultaneously as long as it fits their framework.

The Breitbart watermark makes me very suspicious, I would treat it as probably worthless until we see more reliable sources.

Why would it be real when it was leaked by breitbart? Are the lizard people also real? Is the earth flat? Do vaccines cause autism?
