I don’t voice my politically-incorrect views at work either, because I know it won’t do me any good.
there are no politically correct views in the workplace.
Then explain PolitiFact.

#342So long as their speech remains legal, social media sites should not be the business of censoring elected officials. That is the job of voters and Congress. It’s too easy to walk down a slippery slope where suddenly these sites have to regulate in accordance with whatever is the popular opinion of the day.
>social media sites should not be the business of censoring elected officials. That is the job of voters and Congress. What about Paul Nehlen, a political candidate who (before he was permabanned) frequently railed on Twitter against the "Jewish media" and mused about the "JQ", which stands for Jewish Question? Who called Jewish critics "shekels-for-hire" and used the phrase "The goyim know!" as an imitation of their…

Except, @jack has said publicly that is what Twitter wants to be.
Re: Things from leaked audio of Mark Zuckerberg and his employees
#343Zuckerburg has a history of this type of behavior in the past where he sucked up to Xi Jinping asking him to name his child (wtf...). He obviously doesn’t care about politics nearly as much as he does courting influence and money from politicians in power. The embarrassing part is his attempts to justify it without outright saying “Look, we have to keep Republicans happy because they have the power to hurt Facebook o…
About baby names: This was in 2015, when the Democratic presidential front runners for the most part were pro-China and in favor of the TPP. Edit: TPPP -> TPP
Why would anyone be pro-China and in favor of TPP?

You mean the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)? That partnership was not to the benefit of China. It did not include China.

Perhaps a better phrasing is 'pro-the-Chinese-people'. Or maybe just 'not racist'.

Any Facebook employees want to give us an inside view about this? Throwaway account if needed?
I’m at FB and the nuance between supporting BLM/racial equality and preserving free speech has been lost. If you don’t think Zuck should’ve taken down Trump’s ramblings then you’ll likely be seen quite negatively by people all across the org chart, potentially including your direct and indirect superiors. Of my own team: 30% definitely support 20% probably support 50% unknown/neutral 0% definitely against I wrote mor…
Would people who spoke out negatively potentially receive reprisals, even if not explicitly so? I'd imagine they'd lose opportunities, have their career affected and be treated differently.
In that case, I wouldn't be so sure about your numbers because people will lie about positions if they think they'll be negatively impacted by a "wrong" answer.
This is one of the reasons why the 2016 election polls were so wrong. When polled, a certain number of Trump supporters would lie and say they supported Clinton.

#347Zuck will follow the ad dollars. If revenue drops due to the Trump hate speech then it'll be gone already.
Unless he's playing the long game where he is betting the farm on a Trump victory, and is trying his best to not antagonize him. Which seems more likely than him being ruled by a small impact on a few months of ad revenue.
This is a good take and one I also think is likely. Maybe Zuckerberg saw what happened to Google.
Google essentially bet the farm on a Clinton win (Schmidt was directly helping the campaign). Fast forward to today, Google is under dozens of anti-trust investigations and has been iced out of all Washington influence.

A younger me would be right there with you arguing these hard-line principles. And older me has seen 20 years of absolute madness spreading across people's minds and an outbreak of sickness and obesity. An even older me fears this whole thing is coming down because that old assumption that most people are like me--smart! educated! harmless! peace-loving! egalitarian! color-blind!--is flat-out false . Human society is…
You could see the "fascist" "mob" protesting last month. Now we see the other side.
You don't protest when you're in power. The fascist mob is rioting however. You missed it because they wear badges.

Ah, that is correct.
It's possible that, since China and Vietnam have a free trade agreement, that there would be some misuse (https://theintercept.com/2015/11/11/trump-was-right-about-tp...), but you're right.
