It was having Nigel Farrage's tweets show up in the start menu on a box at work that did it for me. And no, there's no free speech on my or my company's desktop machines. I'm here to get work done - not be subjected to any political crap.
- defrost 4y agoFarrage has a cockwomble level that transcends politics, his content delivery is axiomatically objectional regardless of whatever side he takes.
- alibarber 4y agoAnd to elaborate - it's not really that he, or any other of his ilk, exist. Or the content of what they were saying (not that I care at all for it); The bit that made me angry the most was that, some PM at Microsoft actually thought "Yes, we will show divisive politics to a user who has paid for this software." Of course, they probably sold it as, "Let's _delight_ the user with treding twitter topics in $their_locale" - but if they didn't figure out what that would mean in the actual real world, then good heavens...
