A very good day of coding and tutorial writing on this Monday.

@phoneboy Yep, which is why I feel that this FB scandal is going to be just a blip on the way they operate unless there's regulation.

@hybotics I heard similar stories, it's not fun that these folks are pushing out of the workforces.
@hazardwarning I happen to know some of these people that used to work at IBM, and told me stories on how they tried many times to push them out. Luckily, they have been able to leave with grace and on their own. Not so for others in this piece obviously. I always ay you can work as long as you want to , but it's sad that experience doesn't matter anymore.

This person on the bird just don't realize how bad and brutal the SESTA/FOSTA bill is going to be in terms of freedom of speech. It's a huge blow.
ProPublica investigation shows IBM flouted US laws against age discrimination and estimates the company eliminated about 20,000+ US employees over 40 in the past five years. [features.propublica.org]
IBM used to be great, but this is what they've become. Ageism is real, folks
It’s surely becoming the worst week ever for internet privacy and freedom of speech.
And it will get worse.
@hybotics He will sign it for sure, best bet now is to take this to the courts.
The US Congress just silenced the Internet today [eff.org]
A dark day for the internet, and it may not be the last.
@matigo Well, it was about the current state and what the future holds. Mostly opinionated.
