Comment on CEO of Kraken, the Cryptocurrency Exchange, Steps Downparent

Comments

Kraken laid out a vision of its corporate culture that includes prohibiting employees from calling speech “racist,”

There goes "freely talking about anything".

It seems that racists at Kraken needed a safe space... Kinda cute! Maybe if they don't like their speech being labelled "racist" they could work somewhere else?

Not saying this with regard to this situation specifically, but personally I'd be fine with banning one word criticisms. They tend to be imprecisely used, which is a major problem when talking about hot button issues. Most arguments are a matter of degree as opposed to absolute, so precision is the point of the conversation.
