At the meeting Thurs, Google's Pichai & Brin stopped discussing Dragonfly when told NYT's @kateconger had tweeted some of their remarks. I understand the urge to live tweet but here it was short-sighted. Resulted in Google staff (& reporters) getting less info out of leadership.
Would be good if we could all agree as reporters not to live tweet meetings on this topic going forward. Our goal should always be to provide the public w/ as much info as possible. We're not going to achieve that by live tweeting meetings & getting them shut down.
It's also worth noting that live tweeting a closed door meeting creates a high degree of risk for the sources providing you w/ info. Google can monitor who is using its networks & at what times. Why risk exposing them? Just don't.
