Facebook tells @donie it won’t take action aganist posts by Trump that spread false claims about mail-in voting, saying it values a “robust debate about the electoral process” and that its policies are designed to "focus on misrepresentations that would interfere with the vote." — PolitiTweet.org

So will Twitter be adding a label to this tweet adding contexual information about which entities are and are not bound by the First Amendment? https://t.co/Eku4HaK929 — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter is declining to comment on Trump’s accusation that the company is interfering with the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, this means Twitter will now face further questions about when and how it may apply this label to other Trump tweets, as the president has lobbed baseless allegations against @JoeNBC. More here: https://t.co/fYiuxuj0ml — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter confirms to me that today is the first time any Trump tweets have been labeled as misleading by the platform. In these (two) cases, Twitter says, Trump’s tweets were flagged for "potentially misleading information about voting processes” and are labeled for context. https://t.co/w0pd4qTjN7 — PolitiTweet.org

Google says it hopes to begin reopening its offices beginning on July 6 at around 10 percent building capacity, growing to about 30 percent by September (though most employees will still be WFH through the end of the year): https://t.co/l8f209E2cq — PolitiTweet.org

@binarybits I’d bet that most people moving from Sioux Falls to Menlo Park would feel justified asking for more money. Is it any surprise that Facebook might take advantage of the same dynamic going in the opposite direction? — PolitiTweet.org

Just the idea of perma-#WFH has Bay Area workers dreaming of lower rents and a better QoL. "This is the question me and my friends are all talking about at the moment. There are a lot of interesting cities where you could have a really enjoyable lifestyle.” –A Google worker — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the uncertainty, there’s a huge appetite for remote work — and when highly sought-after talent demands it, employers tend to listen. https://t.co/Q2mwlZ2eyu’s CEO told me that in surveys, 76 percent of employees said they’re in no hurry to get back to their desks. — PolitiTweet.org

Cultural questions abound. Right now everyone’s remote, but how do you ensure remote workers have an equal voice when half the team is there in person? Companies say there’ll need to be much more intention toward team-building and mental health benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Big companies have spent billions on fancy HQs and lavish perks. Small ones have crammed into tight co-working spaces. Neither model is sustainable in a post-pandemic world. “What we'll see as a result of Covid is a return to personal, private workspaces,” one HR exec told me. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook is the latest company to pivot to permanent #WFH, making Silicon Valley again a leader in revolutionizing the way we work. We investigated all the ways this could change our lives — from wages to real estate to the way new companies are born. https://t.co/jnzjNgCv5b — PolitiTweet.org
