December 19, 2017 Information Liberation 0

Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, campaigned for Net Neutrality, claiming it was “indispensable to free expression”.

Charlottesville Police Chief Resigns After Damning Report

December 19, 2017 Daily Caller 2

Charlottesville Police Chief Al Thomas resigned following criticism from an investigative report of his handling of the Unite-the-Right rally. The report said that Thomas ordered police to allow the alt-right, KKK, and neo-nazi protesters to violently ​clash with counter-protesters because that would make it easier to declare an unlawful assembly. Thomas denies telling his officers to “let them fight.” Note, however, that the report did not claim that he said “let the fight.” Instead, it accurately reported that he ordered officers to do nothing to interfere.
