Chicago-based software company Basecamp is banning political talk from company accounts and committees at work as part of a new rollout of changes.

"Today's social and political waters are especially choppy. Sensitivities are at 11, and every discussion remotely related to politics, advocacy, or society at large quickly spins away from pleasant. You shouldn't have to wonder if staying out of it means you're complicit, or wading into it means you're a target. These are difficult enough waters to navigate in life, but significantly more so at work," Basecamp CEO and co-founder Jason Fried wrote Monday in a company blog post.
