1) NDAs silence victims
2) NDAs protect perpetrators
3) NDAs eschew a gospel-shaped response to sin in favour of a secular response to sin

In my early law practice, I was a business lawyer. I often used non-disclosure/non-disparagement clauses in contracts purchasing businesses & some employment contracts.

1) youāre not a lawyer
2) your employer claims to love Jesus and be doing his work
3) your employer emphasizes loyalty & trusting them
4) you are forbidden to discuss experiences & working conditions with your colleagues
5) you suddenly need $
almost everyone signs.

People who:
1) realize their employer lied to them
2) realize their work environment was abusive
3) think their firing might be illegal
4) know others have similar stories
5) have enough $ or a new job soon
6) HAVE SHOWED IT TO A LAWYER

- Read everything before signing
- Ideally get legal advice
- If you can (financially) avoid NDA, itās a good idea
- Donāt presume good intent of the other party
- You may not realize what you know or problems with your workplace until later

I should mention, this is why I keep talking about this. Because I know so many people who legally CAN'T.

How do I know they have NDAs, if they can't talk legally about them? Because they trusted me with their secrets... after I said something. That's how they knew I was safe. https://t.co/M278njx2ct

A local church fired an employee (after letting them serve for 5 services that day.) They knew this person had just bought a house, had a child on the way, etc. But they took advantage of his financial situation to effectively force acceptance of an unreasonably broad NDA. https://t.co/mp4DCVAdV0

Exactly. I once signed an NDA for a major fruit company \U0001f609 to test an unreleased device (with complications). This was to protect specific tangible knowledge that had value. https://t.co/5EtbFRMmIe

The DIVERSITY INFORMATION section in yr job application mentions 'legal equality duties'. You then ask "What is your gender identity?" with options

'Gender identity' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology - 'non-binary' and 'other' are not valid options.

'Gender identity' is not a synonym for sex.

Wow, Morgan McSweeney again, Rachel Riley, SFFN, Center for Countering Digital Hate, Imran Ahmed, JLM, BoD, Angela Eagle, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Lisa Nandy, Steve Reed, Jon Cruddas, Trevor Chinn, Martin Taylor, Lord Ian Austin and Mark Lewis. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut 24 tweetš§µ
Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmerās chief of staff, launched the organisation that now runs SFFN.
The CEO Imran Ahmed worked closely with a number of Labour figures involved in the campaign to remove Jeremy as leader.
Rachel Riley is listed as patron. https://t.co/nGY5QrwBD0
SFFN claims that it has been āa project of the Center For Countering Digital Hateā since 4 May 2020. The relationship between the two organisations, however, appears to date back far longer. And crucially, CCDH is linked to a number of figures on the Labour right. #LabourLeaks
Center for Countering Digital Hate registered at Companies House on 19 Oct 2018, the organisationās only director was Morgan McSweeney ā Labour leader Keir Starmerās chief of staff. McSweeney was also the campaign manager for Liz Kendallās leadership bid. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut
Sir Keir - along with his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney - held his first meeting with the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM). Deliberately used the āanti-Semitismā crisis as a pretext to vilify and then expel a leading pro-Corbyn activist in Brighton and Hove

This response to my tweet is a common objection to targeted advertising.
@KevinCoates correct me if I'm wrong, but basic point seems to be that banning targeted ads will lower platform profits, but will mostly be beneficial for consumers.
Some counterpoints š
1) This assumes that consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones.
This does not seem self-evident to me
Research also finds that firms choose between ad. targeting vs. obtrusiveness š
If true, the right question is not whether consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones. But whether they prefer *more* contextual ads vs *fewer* targeted
2) True, many inframarginal platforms might simply shift to contextual ads.
But some might already be almost indifferent between direct & indirect monetization.
Hard to imagine that *none* of them will respond to reduced ad revenue with actual fees.
3) Policy debate seems to be moving from:
"Consumers are insufficiently informed to decide how they share their data."
To
"No one in their right mind would agree to highly targeted ads (e.g., those that mix data from multiple sources)."
IMO the latter statement is incorrect.

That targeted ads allow for "free" products for consumers is a common talking point and we're going to see more of it in the coming months.: https://t.co/Xty3My3f0u (1/14)

Great post by @Sherman1890 got me thinking about the future of targeted ads.
— Dirk Auer (@AuerDirk) February 12, 2021
More and more tools (privacy labels, ad blockers, GDPR) enable consumers to opt-out from targeted ads - can limit the data platforms receive or block ads altogether.

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
- Unique to your own talents & interests https://t.co/bB3k1YcH5b
