If Google is claiming that this video merely expresses the employee's "personal view", why are they using company assets to make a company video, during company time, during a company review seminar?
Why do they need to make a company video to "reflect" on the political outcome?
I'm sorry google, you're full of shit. This isn't a personal view, this is a company view.
Because Alex Jones is really going to murder someone that he finger-gunned, recorded and broadcast publicly. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? Do you realize how much hyperbole and out-of-context bullshit you are spinning this?
And then you had the chutzpah to say:
So yeah in the actual real world context matters.
...while completely ignoring the context and spinning some media presence into being a murderous criminal mobster who takes "hits" out on people by notifying his hitmen by "finger gunning" them on publicly broadcast media.

To some Twitter users -- and even some employees -- it is a mystery
LOL. No it's fucking not. It's really fucking obvious who gets kicked off the platform.
Are you a prominent conservative political figure that is currently in the focus of a lot of angry liberal people who like to mash the "report" button (for frivolous or false reasons) and aren't too big/connected that there will be business/corporate/financial retaliation if you get kicked off the site?
Congratulations, have a boot to the head! You're banned!
I'm still waiting for publicly known harassers and perpetrators of violent hate speach to get banned from Twitter like: Randi Harper, Zoe Quinn, Manveer Heir, Sarah Jeong, Robbi Rodriguez and all those antifa goons. They are guilty of actions that are at the least worse than conservative entities on twitter are accused of doing and yet they get to spew things like "murder all white people" or send pictures of their hairy assholes to other people, or use twitter to orchestrate a network of followers to harass both online and in real life people whom merely disagree with their ideology.
Didn't Nintendo lose this case with the guy offering roms of their out-of-print games?
IIRC, the court ruled that you can't claim copyright on a product you don't intend to sell. The whole point of copyright is so you can make available to the public the product while retaining rights to control the distribution.
Nintendo subsequently started making bundled Game-Boy cartridges with 100 games on one cartridge so they could retain control of the IP.
Last time I was a Juror, the judge threatened contempt of court to anyone who engaged in Jury nullification, or shared the knowledge with others. He didn't outright use the words "jury nullification", but it was basically what he was instructing the jury about.
Except cops don't have to actually identify a threat, they can just pretend that there might be a threat.
They can merely imagine that someone might have a gun, and then claim to be in fear of this imaginary gun that the person might (but is never verified to) have.
In short, cops get to imagine all sorts of stuff, and then justify their actions based on their imagination. How this fucking flies in court is beyond me, but you (referring to the general American populace) stupid motherfuckers who end up on the jury keep letting this bullshit go because somehow, cops are all "heroes"...
P.S. FUCK YOU to the Jurors that keep giving a pass to cops who do this bullshit.
There was no "misrepresentation". Misrepresentation would imply that some oversight caused the reduction in EXP and that this was not intended.
This was a deceptive and deliberate mechanic that was absolutely intended specifically to make more money for Bungie. I.e. It was implemented specifically to drive sales of their in-game micro-transaction "loot box" product: Bright Engrams.
Once I was looking through job postings for a new job fresh out of college. A lot of the jobs I was looking at had completely bullshit requirements. An example was a Broadcom intern position that required a PHD and 6 years of industry experience, or a Masters and 12 years of industry experience.
Another instance was a job posting for a programming language that had only existed for less than 2 years, but the job posting required 10 years experience.
It was pointed out to me by a friend who has been in the industry for decades that these weren't real jobs. These were H1B visa jobs, and that part of the process of getting a H1B visa is "showing" that there is "no one qualified for your job position" and therefor you have to go out of the United States for prospective employees. The catch, is that these H1B visa applicants don't have to meet the same job requirements.
Now I don't know if that is true or not. But it is the only thing that logically makes sense for a company to advertise flat-out impossible, or nigh unrealistic job requirements. And all of the companies that I saw posted these unreasonable job postings were companies that hired H1B visa employees...
The problem we have is that he whilst he never directly made claims, he certainly insinuated them and dressed them up in nice language to make it look like he wasn't making them.
The only people who think he made misogynistic claims are people who already drank the bullshit koolaid and are trying to spin his words into the worst imaginable to further their agenda.
What he did say is that men are better at dealing with stress and that it could explain why more men are in upper management.
More bullshit.
The word "better" shows up twice in his document, once in a footnote talking about creating a "better environment", and another instance when he says, and I quote "Being emotionally unengaged helps us better reason about the facts."
So you can fuck off with your bullshit too you lying piece of shit.
The Gawker case wasn't an issue of free speech, and trying to change the narrative to that is incredibly disingenuous. Gawker failed to comply with a court ruling and got taken to task for violating a court order.
Then, THEN, Gawker decided to double down on their stupid and leak sealed documents (a recording they had in possession) of Terry Bollea going on a "racist rant" costing Bollea him his WWE job. You know, the sealed documents that only Gawker had in their possession, the videos that the previous court ordered sealed...
So yeah, no sympathy for Gawker, what-so-fucking-ever, and this is NOT a case of "free speech".
Later asked by an attorney for Hogan if there was a situation in which a celebrity sex tape might not be newsworthy, Delaurio responded: “If they were a child.”
The attorney then asked him to specify: a child under what age? Daulerio responded: “Four.”
Moscow didn't do anything, and the only reason Russia rolled into Crimea was after Ukraine adapted a law making Ukrainian the sole official language, thereby making life potentially difficult for Russian speaking Ukrainians.
Didn't do anything? LOL.
Other than sending troops, weapons and equipment, passing a vote to annex... of course, nothing.
Also, you might want to review your understanding of the time line.
TSA suggests travelers stow their cash, jewely, and other valuable in a container they're not legally allowed to lock so that other TSA agents can steal them...
If it's ok to store in the cargo of an aircraft it's ok to take in carry on.

No, this is how a private corporation chooses to do business.
Youtube is a corporation of such size and reach that it's policy effects the direction of the world.
Thus their attempts to suppress concepts and ideas that they disagree with is an act of censorship, tyranny and oppression.
And yes, before you mis-quote how freedom speech is only respective to government, (p.s., you're wrong) a private corporation can be involved with the censorship and obstruction of freedom of speech.

"Inciting Violence" isn't what conservative people are being banned for.
Are you seriously arguing that making a "finger gun" at someone and going "bang" is inciting violence? Really?
"Hate Speech" and "Harassment" (for disagreeing with someone) are what they are being banned for. In other words, "wrong think".

Jury Nullification, like the 2nd Amendment, is implemented such that all power remains in the hands of the people.
Last time I was a Juror, the judge threatened contempt of court to anyone who engaged in Jury nullification, or shared the knowledge with others. He didn't outright use the words "jury nullification", but it was basically what he was instructing the jury about.
But there are no good reasons.
Except cops don't have to actually identify a threat, they can just pretend that there might be a threat.
They can merely imagine that someone might have a gun, and then claim to be in fear of this imaginary gun that the person might (but is never verified to) have.

... lol!
Suuuuuure they "mistakenly" pulled them.
I don't recall the judge hiding at all. I even recall him openly telling gawker to cut their shit out and take down the video.
All gawker had to do was follow what the judge ordered.
Thiel bankrolling the whole thing has nothing to do with why they lost; it was their hubris and arrogance is why.

Wish I had mod points to mod you as "Insightful"...
You have to be pretty fucking horrible to be a leftist and banned from Reddit.
On the flip side all you have to do is question the status quo and you can be banned if you're not drinking the lefty kool-aid.
The problem we have is that he whilst he never directly made claims, he certainly insinuated them and dressed them up in nice language to make it look like he wasn't making them.
The only people who think he made misogynistic claims are people who already drank the bullshit koolaid and are trying to spin his words into the worst imaginable to further their agenda.
And apparently you're one of them too.
What he did say is that men are better at dealing with stress and that it could explain why more men are in upper management.
More bullshit.
The word "better" shows up twice in his document, once in a footnote talking about creating a "better environment", and another instance when he says, and I quote "Being emotionally unengaged helps us better reason about the facts."
So you can fuck off with your bullshit too you lying piece of shit.
with an internal memo criticizing the company's diversity efforts and claiming women are biologically less suited than men to be engineers.
At no point in the memo was this ever stated.
I'm fucking tired of disingenuous assholes trying to spin something that says one thing, into something else to further their agenda.
The Seattle PD tries to respond to all break-ins within four hours.
Might as well not even bother to respond if the wait time is 4 hours.
Bullshit.
Gawker didn't just say "mean things", they also publicly outed someone who was gay (Peter Thiel) that was keeping it secret.
To then say it was "just mean words" is a complete fabrication of the truth in the most intellectually dishonest of ways.
Then, THEN, Gawker decided to double down on their stupid and leak sealed documents (a recording they had in possession) of Terry Bollea going on a "racist rant" costing Bollea him his WWE job. You know, the sealed documents that only Gawker had in their possession, the videos that the previous court ordered sealed...
So yeah, no sympathy for Gawker, what-so-fucking-ever, and this is NOT a case of "free speech".
And of course, lets not forget this gem:
