More trouble for Twitter - Gender Bias case

With Twitter being shaken up after Elon Musk took over, there seems to be a mix of bad news and rapid changes happening. A lot is being done in the name of free speech and financial restructuring. It all started off with a massive lay-off and that, by itself, seems continue to haunt Twitter. I saw this news article that stated that more percentage of women were fired than men (57% vs 47%) and this has been considered enough difference to sue the company for gender bias. I wonder how this will impact Twitter. Knowing Musk, he's not gonna be bothered. Let's see how long it will be before a verdict.

Twitter Accused Of Gender Bias, Lawsuit Claims Layoffs Targeted Women

Twitter Inc has been hit with another lawsuit stemming from the recent purging of half its workforce, this one accusing the social media company of disproportionately targeting female employees for layoffs.

I don't know anything about Twitter. Sometimes these things seem so petty and trivial to me.

The firing of employees was quite a massive event. I'm sure there will be more legal cases that come through too.

I never liked Twitter a lot and I like even less since Elon Musk took it over. I do not care what is going to happen.

Musk is a great entrepreneur and has done some fantastic things. But this twitter takeover has been confusing.

I doubt if gender was even a consideration in the layoffs.
