    Trump sues Twitter and Facebook for banning him, claims “trillions” in damages.
    Ars Technica (Center) • Factual Grade 82% • 6 min read

    President Trump's lawsuits [argue] that Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube each have a status that "rises beyond that of a private company to that of a state actor" because they "increasingly engaged in impermissible censorship resulting from threatened legislative action" and willingly participated "in joint activity with federal actors."
    ...
    "The fact that platforms talk to the government, and even cooperate on taking down speakers who violate the law or threaten national security, does not make them instruments of the state," said Andrew Schwartzman, senior counselor for the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society.
    ...
    US law gives online platforms immunity from lawsuits over how they moderate user-submitted content via Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Trump's lawsuits asked the court "to declare that Section 230 [is] an unconstitutional delegation of authority." Section 230 has already been upheld by courts numerous times.

Context: Iceland's experiment with 4-day work week suggests improvement in productivity

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - We already work a 9/80 schedule and get every other Friday off - 9 hour days for 9 days in the two week pay period (8 hours on the working Friday to add up to 80 hours). The Fridays we get off allow for a lot of travel flexibility or just to get errands and doctor appointments accomplished during the week without having to miss work. I would happily go to every Friday off to get even more flexibility.


No - In reading through some of the comments, I get the feeling that people who want a 4 day work week are looking forward...



Unsure - My industry is a service and educational industry open to the public 6...
