LinkedIn removed transgender-related protections from its policy on hateful and derogatory content. The platform no longer lists “misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals” as examples of prohibited conduct.

Similarly, the platform removed “race or gender identity” from its examples of inherent traits for which negative comments are considered harassment.

If you ever find yourself questioning your beliefs, remind yourself that they all hate you solely because they think it’s funny.

They brushed all the rainbow-themed cobwebs off their capitalism.

Tracking the amount of antacids and other digestion-themed medicines delivered to stores around Raytheon Acres in order to track your effectiveness.

All of this started because credulous libs took far right propaganda at face value, and decided that catering to a non-existent dominant demographic of woke college kids was the best business strategy. Now they realize they never had to do all of that. Even worse, they probably feel that overestimating the liberal or leftist tendency of society cost them missed opportunity. Meaning they regret not backing the far right the whole time. They'll never make that mistake again.

What is LinkedIn trying to get from the trump administration?

[-] darkcalling@hexbear.net 14 points 5 hours ago

It's Microsoft so maybe not being smashed to pieces as a monopoly as they should have been and were on the verge of being before the Bush admin just kinda said nah nevermind at the last second.

I mean they have so many regulatory interests. Acquisitions, sub-divisions, the whole thing not being subjected to monopoly, the US using its might to smash Europe in the face and force them to stop interfering with profits as Trump recently has been doing in interceding on behalf of Elon against EU laws and prosecutors.

Lol. Lmao. Rainbow capitalism never amounted to much in the end.

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 8 points 2 hours ago

Oh, it amounted to billions in profit, but there's billions more to be had in brownshirt capitalism (actually just regular fascism, but with more McDonalds renaming their happy meals to Hitler youth meals)

Even the stalwart allies at LinkedIn?
