Twitter läuft besser ohne Trump
„Banning Trump Didn’t Change How Much People Use Twitter, New Data Shows – Trump’s presence on Twitter had no impact on how much people used it, contrary to the popular narrative. – For as long as Donald Trump was president, there was a common misconception that Twitter’s fate was tied to his. That without his presence… Now that Twitter’s banned Trump though, the data shows he had no discernable impact on how much people used it. – Daily use of Twitter has remained remarkably consistent after it banned Trump last month, according to new data from mobile research company Apptopia… With @realDonaldTrump no longer active, Twitter might even enjoy a bump in business, according to Darren Lachtman, a former Twitter global director of brand strategy. ‚Twitter is and has been a steady part of pop culture, and one user – no matter who he is – disappearing clearly didn’t make a big difference,‘ he told me. ‚If anything, this will be a plus for advertisers who were turned off by toxicity from the past few years.'“

Kontrolle der Homeoffice-Pflicht
„So wird die neue Homeoffice–Regel kontrolliert – In Berlin sind 75 Betriebe wegen der Homeoffice-Pflicht kontrolliert worden. Andere Bundesländer gehen ebenfalls Hinweisen nach. … Wie der Tagesspiegel nach einer Umfrage in allen 16 Bundesländern feststellte, gibt es nur stichprobenartige Kontrollen. Der Grund: Die Arbeitsschutzbehörden sind schwach besetzt. Selbst im bevölkerungsreichsten Bundesland Nordrhein-Westfalen gibt es demnach nur 200 Aufsichtsbeamte. … Welche Ergebnisse die Kontrollen genau brachten, geht aus dem Bericht nicht hervor. Theoretisch können Bußgelder verhängt oder Betriebe geschlossen werden.“
