Social Networks Start Shutting Down Right-Wing Accounts, Are they Right?
Let me make a distinction here, between what the “right” thing to do for a social media company would be, and what they are within their rights to do. I am on record as saying I am for more free speech, almost always. Because I want stupid, dangerous people to be as public as they…

Linked: Work invading your private life? EU politicians want to give employees a right to disconnect
