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.
It’s a social media company, not a tech company.
Unless you have a magic list of technology the company is releasing.
I don’t see what else one would call their own algorithms and media delivery systems.
Does Twitter make the content or do they serve content via webservers and applications? Sounds like technology to me.
Do buses pick you up at the corner or do you get on the bus? Sounds like technology to me.
A bus is an automobile.
Twitter is a website.
Twitter is a website, and a website is technology lmao
Every tool humanity has ever created is technology
Starting with hammers, axes, arrows, the wheel etc
That you are correct:
Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.
According to Britannica.
