Wondering about the health of the internet, both globally and in the US? Mozilla—the company behind the Firefox browser and more—today released its fourth Internet Health Report, which covers topics that impact the internet and big tech companies, such as accountability, labor, and—as we'll discuss here—racial justice issues.
The hard numbers are above, pulled from tech companies' own reports, as charted by
Wired. Among the biggest four—Apple, Facebook, Google (Alphabet), and Microsoft (Amazon isn't listed)—the stats on Black, Latinx, and Native representation among the workforce in each are practically unchanged after five years (see update below). The only real change is the minimal increase in the number of Asian employees, up 12% at Apple, 11% at Facebook, 9% at Google, and 4% at Microsoft. The report flatly states that even in that case, caste discrimination happens.
