Someday, someone will write about how the conflation of university speech with “censorship” was used to mobilize actual government censorship.
When Stanford IT staff and a pro-diversity group shared a list of words they encouraged others not to use, it was national news, despite the fact it never represented campus policy.
When the government erases any mention, data or research related to words, will it be treated as a free speech issue?

One way employers suppress negative info is binding employees to broad nondisclosure clauses. In #MeToo, some states narrowed NDA enforcability.
With Jason & @evanstarr.bsky.social, we show evidence that this increased the flow of negative info onto Glassdoor.
