Thursday = the new Friday... The four-day workweek is #trending after positive results from one of the largest trials ever conducted of the concept. The vast majority of companies in the six-month UK study said they’d stick with four-day weeks after seeing major reductions in turnover, happier employees, and mostly steady productivity. Employers in the US, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and other countries are also testing it out. Most companies that have experimented with short weeks are small, but four-day work could become a hot new perk.
SCOTUS on YouTube… The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case against Google that could decide if tech companies should be liable for content their algos promote. The plaintiffs are the family of Nohemi Gonzalez, an American college student who was killed in a 2015 ISIS attack in Paris. They say YouTube’s recommendations violated anti-terrorism law by helping radicalize viewers. Social giants are protected from being liable for users' posts thanks to Section 230. But now the question of content promotion could put some protections in jeopardy.
