American Airlines Fires Designer Who Reached Out To Disgruntled Customer
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, that's a good response. It's human. It
| explains the situation without PR/marketing
| speak that a recipient would know was
| bogus. It is the type of response that
| makes someone feel good about American
| Airlines (mostly). So, how did AA respond?
|
| It fired the guy.
|
| Apparently, higher level folks at American
| Airlines didn't like the fact that an
| employee was actually being open and honest
| with a customer, took the text from
| Dustin's post (he hadn't named the
| designer), searched through the email
| system, identified the guy... and fired
| him... and threatened to sue the guy if he
| spoke to Dustin again.

IGF censors for China
,----[ Quote ]
| The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) has
| made a right mess of the opening day of its
| meeting in Egypt.
|
| Already under fire for holding the forum in
| Egypt, which banged up a blogger for four
| years, the group also made a truly ham-
| fisted attempt to censor debate at the
| meeting.
