https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/22/google-gender-discrimination-case-reporting-restricted
The article highlights how google has been underpaying women in particular and also how they attempted to restrict access to the case, obviously failing it shows that even though google is a powerful company in terms of NDM. Their power does not translate into more traditional means.
OThe DoL has accused Google of systematically underpaying women, and the court battle centers on the company’s refusal to hand over salary data the government has requested.
O 'sheds light on Google’s aggressive efforts to end the case at a time when the tech industry is facing increasing criticisms over sexist workplace cultures, gender discrimination and widespread pay disparities'
A Marxist would definitely use this article as an example of how NDM means it is easier for people to enforce the status quo. Google continually aims to make its brand seem amazing and trustworthy. Regardless of how much they hide it things are always being released and investigated inline meaning that a more pluralist perspective is more apparent simply because we have acess to the information that they have been trying to hide.
