Facebook moderates content ahead of Chauvin trial verdict, 1 in 3 workers will pursue a new job if forced to return to the office, and Parler returns to the App Store

Hello, communicators:

A federal judge has ordered Minnesota state troopers to not arrest journalists who are covering protests around the police shooting of Duante Wright and the trial of Derek Chauvin. The temporary restraining order, which also bars state troopers from using force against journalists or ordering them to disperse during protests, does not apply to local law enforcement or the national guard.

“In a 22-page order, Judge Wilhelmina M. Wright cited examples of police treatment of the press over the past week, including police orders specifically directed to members of the press to vacate protest areas, and incidents of journalists being pepper sprayed, physically grabbed, or hit by projectiles,” reports Minnesota Reformer.

“Wright said the evidence showed law enforcement’s ‘repeated conduct in contravention of Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights,’ further suggesting that police actions ‘were motivated at least in part by the press’s engagement in constitutionally protected activity.’”
