Freedom of Screech 0

In the wake of the comeuppance of Roseanne Barr, Above the Law’s Evan Gibbs and Alex Lilly offer a detailed look at “freedom of speech” as a Constitutional civil liberty vs. freedom of speech in the workplace. They point out that, whereas “Congress shall make no law . . .,” employers are generally free to regulate employees’ behavior on the job and on the property, though there may be a trend to loosen employer’s rights.

In the light of all the garbage spewn about freedom of speech, what it is, who has it, and where it can be practiced, the article is a worthwhile read.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
