Twitter has once again been sued by former employees, who this time allege they were discriminated against on the basis of sex, age, race, and/or for taking medical leave. Here's the twist. They've brought the stats.

Twitter challenged a district court’s imposition of a $50,000 fine that doubled every day. The appeals court upheld the document production demand, and Twitter eventually complied

Killingsworth's analysis suggests,"the odds that this disparity between women and men being laid off is due only to chance is 0.00000000000001 ." "We were able to do an upfront statistical analysis, which is why we've included that in the complaint," said Liss-Riordan,"although it is not required that you have that level of specificity when you first file a complaint."

The complaint further contends that"Musk’s history of support for racist groups and hate speech directed at Black people" demonstrates his animus against Black people and that his views can be imputed to Twitter since he oversaw and managed those conducting the layoffs.
