Hardly the same as "speaking about climate change", is it? Clickbaity.

- nijave 7y agoYup any company I've ever been at has also had a similar policy about speaking publicly
- zxcvbn4038 7y agoYep, don’t think anyone would have cared if they just spoke about climate change. Attacking your employer publicly in any context is a dumb move. Even in legit whistle blowing cases they will find a way to get you out.
- squarefoot 7y agoDefinitely clickbait and very annoying. I would welcome a browser extension which allows the user to temporarily self blacklist sites publishing clickbaity titles. In this case, a small button added to the page would make the site resolve say to 127.0.0.1 for one week and possibly populate an external server hosting a list of most offending ones. Probably a stupid idea, but I can't think of any solution other than taking away what they're after: ie clicks.
