![Google I/O 2014 interrupted by protester calling for Google to “develop a conscience” [Updated]](https://img-cdn.tnwcdn.com/image?fit=1280%2C720&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.tnwcdn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fblogs.dir%2F1%2Ffiles%2F2014%2F06%2Fgoogleio_2014_428.jpg&signature=f6f97a1c37c72a1d8c36487c203ee3c0)
A protester attempted to grab the limelight during the Google I/O keynote today, calling on Google to “develop a conscience.” Google security quickly removed the agitator from the room, but she managed to get in a few yells and distract the presenter before being stopped.
Judging from the protester’s sign, she was attempting to call attention to an eviction complaint related to Google’s head of E-discovery, Jack Halprin. In April, activists gathered outside Halprin’s house to accuse him of using “illegal methods” to evict tenants from a property in San Francisco.

The attempt follows yesterday’s Occupy Google protests at the company’s headquarters, which resulted in 10 arrests, according to SFGate.
UPDATE: Another protester interrupted the keynote later. This time it appeared the complaint related to Google’s acquisition of Boston Dynamics, the robotics company that is currently a military contractor. “You’re all involved with a company that builds robots to kill people,” he said before being led away by security.
