There's a reason why I never use Bing

Because I'm buying the $8 option from a company called "XYBENOZ". Without reading the reviews I already know there's a 56% chance of failure, but I'm willing to take that risk because then it's Amazon's problem.

the fact that it suggests (pushes) the idea each time I use the website is just maddening

I don't think I've ever seen this suggestion. IDK where I clicked "STFU" but I only ever remember seeing something about it once.

Never used pocket, how does this differ from just having a bookmarks folder called "stuff to read while you're taking a shit"?

But the employees are fully able to make those communications on non-work platforms. This is Microsoft saying you can't talk about genocide using their name and branding. An official @microsoft.com email carries weight that a @hotmail.com email doesn't.

Is it a bad PR choice by them to crack down on internal discussion of genocide? Probably. But the employees are still free to speak elsewhere.

My point wasn't to equivocate those two things, my point is free speech applies to censorship from the government.

By all means everyone should feel free to boycott Microsoft for taking a pro-genocide stance, but that's their stance to take as a company.

Microsoft is in the wrong here, but no one's right to free speech was violated.

NOAA believes this is an attempt by Microsoft to silence worker free speech

Not shilling for Microsoft here, but just reminding everyone that that's not how free speech works.

I'm all for those employees using their collective might through strikes or departures to get Microsoft to cave on this issue, but saying this violates employees freedom of speech is the exact same argument my racist uncle used when he got banned off Facebook.

Unionize and get it in your collective bargaining agreements, otherwise you have no free speech when it comes to your place of employment.

Bread and butter are snacking pickles.

Dill or bust on a sandwich/burger.

CA has some strong privacy protections and a good chunk of the country's population. IANAL but if I were to hope for a similar lawsuit it would come from CA state court.
