Are any of those words weasel words? "blanket"? "currently"?



By themselves, no.

Now, it depends on if he actually knows more than what he stated. They could be weasel words if he actually knows on some future date such a prohibition will be made, or that they are currently prohibiting Python on some level.

My suspicion is that he was trying to be specific, not weasel-like.


I am happy to clarify!

By "blanket" I mean to say that there's no organization-wide policy. I don't know of any specific cases, but I would not be shocked if certain groups within Google have stricter policies in this area.

I was just trying to be specific by saying "currently"
