      Yeah, the fact this sort of censorship is longstanding, common and has a far greater impact than the niche (and sometimes spurious) cases Singal write about means we should treat it as normal. https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1486505117599813632 …

      what is a spurious case of censorship I wrote about?

      I think @AryehCW comments about Pesca are pertinent.

      What did I write about Pesca that is 'spurious'?

      Assuming his claims are prima facie true rather than one side of a story.

      okay, so you think slate is lying in their statement saying they found no wrongdoing after the investigation?

      I think when there is a firing, companies and employees often find legally face saving ways to avoid legal trouble. This is very common!

      Replying to @HeerJeet @AryehCW

      So you think even though we have no evidence he did anything wrong, and Slate explicitly said he did nothing wrong, it is a 'spurious' act to defend him?

      Again, the spurious part is to assume that his comments about the firing are to be taken at face value rather than something requiring reporting (which might be difficult since I imagine there are NDAs in this). That's not hard to understand.

          Sorry, you're right -- managers never overreact or discipline people wrongly. Anyone who was suspended by their employer must have done something wrong, and we should err on the side of assuming they did even if we can't quite figure out what that thing was.

          Since when does @AryehCW hide his tweets? Without access to them there's no way to assess his apparent takedown of Pesca.

          yeesh to every one of your posts here. it's plainly obvious to all that pesca was railroaded - for spurious reasons!

          It’s always amusing how fast Jeet folds when actually asked to say what he’s saying. From “claims that Pesca was fired for content are false” to “well maybe he actually turned into a werewolf you don’t know man” in just a few tweet

          Why should we assume there was wrongdoing when no evidence of such has been provided and the employer in question has even said explicitly that no rules were broken?
