Disillusioned employees from Alphabet Inc.'s Google aren’t that hard to find these days—it can seem like the company has been in a meltdown for the last two years—but Ross LaJeunesse’s story is notable nonetheless. LaJeunesse is more senior than other Google employees who have publicly objected to the company’s actions. His job was also focused directly on policy, rather than engineering.
