Facebook Follows Google To End Mandatory Arbitration For Sexual-Harassment Claims (cnbc.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: Facebook on Friday became the latest tech company to end a policy of requiring employees to settle claims of sexual harassment through private arbitration, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. It will now allow employees to take these types of claims to court. Tech companies have long used arbitration as a method for handling instances of sexual harassment to prevent employees from suing them in court, but that's starting to change. Facebook's move comes shortly after a similar move this week by Google, which came after thousands of its employees walked out in protest last week over its handling of sexual harassment complaints. Additionally, Facebook changed its policy on office dating and will now require employees who are director level or higher to disclose if they are dating a colleague, the report said. Previously, the company only required disclosure if an employee was dating someone they supervised, according to the report.
Dude... he's using the term "puritanism" metaphorically. I don't think he believes the social just-us nazis are actually members of the (extinct?) Puritan religion.
It's a valid comparison. Social just-us nazis - especially feminazis - do act an awful lot like the raging hypocrite Fundamentalist "Christians" who plagued America back in the day.
