  • A YouTube spokesperson said that the removal of “gender identity and expression” from the hate speech policy was part of regular copy edits to the website, and that the enforcement of the policy hasn’t changed. Hate speech toward someone over their “sex, gender, or sexual orientation” is still barred, however critics say that “gender” is very different than “gender identity and expression.”

    If this is a good faith statement it’s a non-issue IMO




  • I’m not as sure. EFF does a fair amount of important reporting to hold big tech companies accountable. The same goes for Check My Ads. Obviously there’s places like The Verge, WIRED, and TechCrunch. Right now politics and tech are pretty intertwined. Having folks with a more technical background cover stories could be pretty beneficial for asking better, deeper questions

    I think if you’re willing to put in the work to learn programming it could give you a pretty big leg up understanding the people and culture surrounding tech. It’s also a decent backup career option
