Users who are blind can post, however they can only publish a review of the employer they now work for. In order for Blind to “measure the professional status” of its users, the anonymous commenters are forced to disclose their work email address, job title, and employer when they sign up. Kim claimed that this month has witnessed “far greater utilization” as a result of the widespread layoffs in the software industry.
On October 27, Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter became official. A week later, Musk fired approximately 3,700 workers, or close to half of the company’s staff.
