This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?
Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.
My wife works in medical research for a company you’ve probably heard of. Talking about diversity is a big part of her job, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s scientifically necessary. If they don’t have a diverse population on a study, the data will be skewed.
She’s no longer allowed to talk about diversity. She’s not even allowed to say the word. She had to remove slides from a presentation she was giving.
Why does she comply so willingly?
Not to pick on her, I get it, sort of, but maybe just “forget” to remove the slides?
Small acts of resistance pile up & those of us with even a crumb of privilege must speak & act now to protect those who don’t even have that.
It’s a valid question.
She pushed back to her managers and was told they’re following up with the legal department. So hopefully it gets fixed higher up.
Maybe you’re right that she should use this as an opportunity to resist, but that resistance wouldn’t make it outside of these little meetings.
I don’t want to be too hard on anybody, this is scary shit.
It’s just something to keep in mind.
Replace with the term “heterogeneous sample”. The prefix hetero- should comfort those snowflakes.
What about euphemisms?
“We have to cast a wide net during the study to prevent the data from being skewed”
There will always be a way to maliciously comply, it’s just a question of how much shit you’ll get for doing so.
Fuck, I don’t remember the last time I wished an internet comment was fake this much.
