Would you really want Twitter run by Sergei Brin's sister-in-law?

Are you suggesting that she is less qualified because of her sister's past relationships?

No. I'm worried competition/antitrust will suffer when a small number of dominant media companies are run by close relatives.

I think there's some conflict in their philosophies on free speech.

It would be ironic if Twitter turned into a graveyard for former Googlers, considering how many of them have been shut out from ever working at Google again/being rehired by the company end of their respective non-compete periods.

Is this because of layoffs or something else happening? I would think that mass layoffs would still allow eligibility for rehire down the road?
