Most states have some form of regulation against constructive dismissal/termination/discharge (term of art varies), but I don't know of a list. Would be good to have!

It's something usually managed at the state level, so depends where they are in the US. In California constructive termination standing is very much a thing.

I do like the idea theoretically as a deterrent against bad actors abusing the law to bully weaker parties - but the difficult part is in the details of implementation: how do you separate intent to abuse from incompetence? Also confusing

As the linked article notes, it's explicitly against the California State Bar Code of Conduct to condition criminal proceedings on requiring a civil outcome, so while not technically illegal it's censurable - that's against t

It's going both directions - that's how polarization works, and this is an increasingly polarizing topic.

Circles were a near-exact lift of the same-named feature from Google Plus. You could (can still?) set up ring privilege layers of your followers or specific subgroupings and send tweets only visible to those in that group.
