X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, is facing 2,200 arbitration cases that ex-employees filed after Elon Musk took over the company, slashed headcount, and made other sweeping changes there. The filing fees alone for that volume of cases could amount to $3.5 million.
The arbitration numbers were revealed in a new filing out Monday as part of a lawsuit in a Delaware district court. The case is Chris Woodfield v. Twitter, X Corp. and Elon Musk (No. 1:23-cv-780-CFC).
As CNBC has previously reported, many large corporations require workers to sign an arbitration agreement upon employment wherever it is legal to do so. This means to speak freely in court, where their speech can become part of a public record, workers would first need to get an exemption from a judge.
My microwave uses an insane amount of technology.
Twitter uses a website an app and advertising.
There’s a huge difference between those two.
You can absolutely separate social media companies from general technology. It’s easy. Mostly because all they do is have a website, app, and advertising.
Why don’t we cover every second of news from microwave companies? One reason would be because they’re so common place, and have been for decades.
Why do we cover every second of news from social media sites? They’re common place and have been around for decades.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc are just websites. That’s all they are.
“Just websites?”
You seriously want to pretend that your microwave has more technology than Facebook does? You think they are just some HTML pages? C’mon…
I see you are trying to downplay their complexity with hyperbole, but that just makes you sound silly.
