On Monday, remote working software company Basecamp announced in a blog post that it will no longer allow employees to discuss social or political issues on work accounts.

The move follows the lead of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, which announced similar policies last year, and includes other changes such as banning workplace diversity and decision-making committees and ending “paternalistic” benefits such as wellness and continuing education initiatives.
